Pete was buried with Military Honors also, seeing those soldiers standing at attention when the hearse pulled up to his gravesite is something our family will never forget. When they handed me the flag I was proud to accept it and I told the young soldier that it was an honor. All Pete's old Vietnam friends were his pallbearers, and they saluted him as he was lowered in the ground.
It will always be a bittersweet memory. I was fine until they played Taps, then I couldn't help but cry but I held myself together.
Thanks for letting me go on and on, it's gonna be a bad week for me, but I know I can come here for support if I need it.
