I buried my Mother with honors in February. She was a navy nurse during Korea and quite proud of her service. We had representatives from all branches of service. I have the flag in one of those nice flag display boxes. It was very hard to hear the words... a greatful nation etc. My Dad-also a navy veteran-died in 1994. He too had a military funeral. The pain never goes away, but as time passes, you don't think about it every minute of every day. My prayers are with you. God bless you and yours.

Thanks to you. It helps to hear from others who have been through this.
