Today for the first time since My Dad died, I was able to bring myself to visit the Arizona National Cemetery on Memorial Day. He served out at our National Cemetery, first as an Honor Guard and on the Rifle Squad that fired the 21 gun salute when a Vet was buried and later as a Chaplin for his VFW Post. I regret to say the only time I went to see my Dad perform these most honorable services was when his best friend was laid to rest here. This morning's Ceremonies were beautiful. Here is a composite of  a few pictures I took today. Click on the pictures to see a larger version.

And a larger one of his gravesite. If you are fortunate enough to still have your Father with you, cherish every moment you can. Too soon they are laid to rest.
