That stinks! From where was the Honor Guard supposed to come?

I am not sure from where they were coming. Maybe from Fort Hood? Possibly JRB Fort Worth?

Uncle Oran folding the Flag with the funeral director was perhaps the most touching and sentimental part of the ceremony.

I guess what irks me the most about this is that having been military, and knowing protocol for how things are done, they should have had #1 a cell phone and/or a beeper, #2 a map to the cemetery, and #3 a time of arrival. The ONLY excuse I would accept as valid a this point would be a complete vehicular breakdown in the middle of nowhere. At the very least, they should have called.
