According to the Funeral home, the funeral director set it up. He called at 9:00am Sunday and sent a fax of Grandpa's discharge papers to New Orleans to prove eligibilty, and a map of where the cemetery is. The funeral was Wednesday at 1:00pm.It sounds like someone on the other end of the fax should get reamed. Try complaining to your congressbeing, too. It was a raw deal, and a lot of people were hurt.

I remember when I was in NCO leadership school. The senior enlisted advisor came to speak one day. Somehow the topic of Honer Guard came up. He mentioned that the base honor gaurd had said no one time to a funeral request. He was not involved in that at all, but said "I never wanna have to deal with that scrutiny again." Someone had called their congress critter. We'll see.
