#4 America is a great nation because of people like your father. May he rest in peace.

Arlington is a national treasure. Ditto for the military cemetaries overseas. I encourage all Americans to visit at least one if they find themselves in Europe. The Battlefield Monuments Commission does a magnificent job caring for our war dead far from home.

#8 Add my thanks for your father's service.

When I think of the military cemeteries, I am reminded that they look like the formations for muster and such. In some way, the very formations in the cemetey give the rest of us strength and comfort.

#9 I echo all of the above. The honorable and dedicated few protect the lives and freedoms of the many. Your pride is perfectly placed. My thanks to your father and his brothers in arms.

#12 Beautiful story Fullwood. Thanks for sharing. We all owe a debt of gratitude to your father and the others who gave so much so we may enjoy the fruits of liberty today. My condolences to you and your family.

#13 When I was stationed in Panama, I joined the USAFSO Command Honor Guard. One of our duties was to participate in all military funerals. I've never been to one that didn't cause a few tears. No duty, however, was more fulfilling.
Both my parents served in WWII - Dad in the Army, Mom in the Navy. I'm proud of them, and what they helped accomplish. Like Fullwood's father, they played key roles in not only ending several tyrannies, but in securing our freedom for another generation. God bless them one and all!

#15 Sorry folks, I kept getting error messages and didn't have sense enough to check if the message got through anyway. Sorry, I'm still learning.

#16 My father was interred in Ft. Rosecrans on Point Loma, San Diego, and remembering the military tribute still brings tears to my eyes. Our local Boy Scouts put individual flags on each and every one of the graves at the major appropriate holidays, and I'm sure something similar happens in each of your locales, fellow Americans. Is this a great country or what?? Never Stop. Never Forget. Never let the fight against these bastards die
