    Last one.

    God bless all our fine service men and women, and their families. We owe them a debt for all they have sacrificed.

    Just seeing thses photos, and reading your account really moved me. I am a veteran myself, but can’t ever remember seeing such an awesome display of respect and National Honor as those folks of that fine community demonstrated there. I salute, all.

    That is amazing. Being “young” myself, the lack of respect people my age show any funeral, or any procession. Everyone is in such a hurry anymore, it’s great to see something like this.

    That is the way it should be. Semper Fi, and God bless all our military members.

    WOW! That is very impressive. That really should be the way all of the funerals for service men and woman should be. I always like seeing parents in our small town Knock the hats off their kids head during parades when their kids don’t take them off! Sad the kids now a days don’t have respect or manners. When I have kids mine will know better!

    COming from where I do I am glad to see this. It is hard these days to find that kind of respect. Kids do not respect a funeral and sad to say some adults do not either.

    As stated, thats the way it should be everywhere.

    If we all try to embrace that type of honor and respect, it can spread.
