I went to the Memorial Day Service at Fort Rosecrans Cemetery on Point Loma, San Diego today. One of the speakers said that recently 21 veterans were collected from the morgues of New York City and they were given burials at a veterans cemetery in Long Island. The veterans had no families to take the folded flags from their coffins. Gold Star mothers volunteered and went to the funeral and were their family and took the folded flags.
