Me too. But grief is good. It’s healing. And it’s OK to shed tears for heroes.

People who can't (or won't) shed tears for our fallen heroes aren't completely human, IMHO.

Personally, it's two things for me...the sight of the flag drapped coffin being carried by the honor guard in utter silence, and when the bagpiper cuts loose with Amazing Grace. Ain't no stoppin' it then.
