[QUOTE="Horticattleman, post: 378044, member: 3852"] I spent almost all day yesterday burying a fallen Marine from our town. Being active in the Marice Corps League we work all funerals. He was killed in action so we gave him a full honor. I'm so tired. His body got here on Tuesday but the family had to wait for relatives, so we stood casket duty from Tues to Sat. His body escort had been with him for 9 days! thru the trip. never left his side.It was a very nice service. He was a proud man and will be missed. I'm glad he knew how much some people appreciated him before he died. Everytime I get to a funeral and see the Patriot Guard my eyes well up. You ought to think about taking part. There are no dues you don't need a motorcycle, just respect and understanding. You just show up and silently hold a flag in honor of the fallen. Quite moving. [/QUOTE]
