While watching the latter, I did encounter a curious errant thought that passed through my mind while watching that casket being carried down the steps with music playing; how, maybe at that same moment in some part of our country there was a widow standing alone by a graveside with only herself (all her friend's and family had passed on), the body of her spouse, a couple of cemetery workers and the minister in attendance and there was no fanfare or special music, yet her loss,, to her,,, was crushing and deeply profound - but most people would never know of the loss of her lifelong partner and would never hear her husband's name. Just the way it is.......... snip Damn,,,, your depressing.... ;-) |

The missing man formation should not be modified according to the stature or
position of the deceased....every one of the members of the military that earned the priviledge of having the missing man formation flown in their honor was a leader... |
