>> what was hard was presenting the flag to the grieving family
I’ll tell you what else is hard, FRIend — watching a solemn and professional young soldier tenderly presenting the folded flag to the widow of a veteran, without choking back a few tears.

One our boys is a officer in the Navy and when my husband died, he presented me with the Flag. It was a surprise to me, and probably one of the most touching events in my life. Tears just thinking about it.
The other day my kids went to a memorial for a Seal friend. The Leap Frogs parachuted and then presented the Flag to his widow.
Thanks, snapping a crisp salute.
