Today my Dad was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery with full Military honors. He never spoke much about WWII but he was a decorated combat veteran, and it was wonderful to see him treated with such honor and respect.

I want to encourage other Forum members to consider this honor for family members who have answered the call from our nation.

I will always remember the respect my country showed my Dad, and I know he would have been very proud.

I can not put into words anything better than this posted by Louis as well as the thoughts of the other Forum Members thus far! I hope very much that you are at peace knowing your father is resting in one of the most sacred and honorable places I can think of. May time take care of you and your family.

All My Best,
