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.

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.
