Welcome Home

Thanks, Rus. Already had forwarded it so you at least could see the pictures!

That is a beautiful pair of graphics.

While grieving with the personal loss to the family, that is balanced by his wonderful example to follow, and the impact of his life and passing on so many persons.

Can't you imagine how it was in Heaven when that man went HOME??!!
There had to be much rejoicing in Heaven!

Listening to Steve describe the moment and his emotions, I was filled with pride, needless to say, seeing how he walks with God, and is loving and caring and giving.

I had to laugh at my man-child, totally 'warped' by his years as a military brat, and in ROTC and police work years ago.

He was absolutely aghast at some members of the Police Pipe & Drum Corps who had not themselves had military service.

Rather than maintain proper at attention postures, focused totally on the intricasies of the service and honoring the American flag, they tended to fidgit and look around and shift their shoulders, muscles getting tired.

Steve, of course, would have dropped dead before breaking his stance, even with a heavy 20-lb. drum to support....yep - just like his mother not dropping the American flag in the Iwo Jima Monument Dedication Ceremony at Parris Island, with a 30-mph wind trying to yank it away..:))
