The Most Sacred Duty (1 Viewer)

[Currahee Chris]

This morning my VFW Post said farewell to one of our former comrades and Post Commanders. Jay did everything he could to make sure that Post 9-11 vets were treated with respect and dignity upon returning from duty (an experience many Nam vets didnt receive from the VFW upon return). I volunteered to stand at his casket during his viewing this morning and to say it was an honor for me is a gross understatement. The Nam vets I served with always ALWAYS parted all their wisdom and experience on me so that we could come back- it just made me such a superior soldier. As the ranking post officer at the viewing, I was asked to stand last and render him his final salute. To be able to stand at Jay's casket and render him his final salute was a massive honor.

This is the most sacred duty we can do as veterans.

Rest in Peace Comrade.

Rest in peace. Lest we forget.

May Jay rest in peace. The world is a poorer place for the passing of each of those who served our country.
