Thank you!

That is an absolutely beautiful cemetary!
It is worthy of Tonk.

Wish I could be there, but I’m returning to Portland on that day.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you, and all of the family.

Thank you. He will be buried near to my older brother, a Korean War vet. We will visit his site some time in the future.

God bless our fellow FReeper and fellow vet, 6869TonkinGulfYachtClub. (I remember it as Yatch.)

Requiescant in Pace
