Two or three missions ago, (on a misty/rainy afternoon) the greiving widow came out and walked all of the flag line to thank each of us in person.
When she got to me and told me how pleased she was that we were there for her and her family, the only thing that I could say to her was that I didn’t have the hardest job that day!
I try to keep them all in our prayers!
I’ve had the same experience..
Also the old guard wanting to say Thanks!
A very humbling experience!
