I've always been impressed with the soldiers at funerals. From the first time as a little child when I heard taps and the rifle salute at my uncle Bob's funeral in Muscatine Iowa until today.

My son was a solder, I guess once a soldier always a soldier, but he was chosen for ceremonial detail.........he doesn't mention the funerals but did tell us about the weddings. Very exciting to hear about and how uplifting for those present.
