Sad day.

Thanks folks.
Well, off to the funeral home for visitations. Sigh.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and the subsequent following processes. My wife and I have been through this
over the last year, and it's not easy. Her dad, and on my side, my mom.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and if I/we can help you/family....just let us know.

Just came back from a wonderful church service. I was presented his American Flag by the Naval Honor Guard. That got the waterworks flowing.....

Thoughts and prayers brother.

Idea..... I did a shadow box. It preserves the flag and memories.

Thanks. My wife has been looking at different ones. Definitely the best way to display and store them.

The one I sent is probably 15 years old and it looks brand new.
The other one that wasn't put in the shadow box does not look as well. So just FYI.

Best regards.

This one is from a friend who had it on board a C-130E on a combat mission into Fallujah, October 2005.

That is an awesome {for lack of a better term} display. I really like that.

I'd like to thank you all for the wishes and prayers. Today was a strangely wonderful and sad day. My brother and sister had him in his Korean-war vintage uniform, with his footlocker full of vintage stuff, next to his coffin...both at the funeral-home and the church, today. A wonderful tribute.

@MMissile you got me thinking about my dad now. WWII in his case.
