Taps played today at VA Cemetery for

[kairos12]

my father-in-law and his wife of more than 60 years.

He was a B-25 pilot in the Pacific Theater.

A fine man, with a truly equal and fine woman, now gone from us.

Gone, but never forgotten. Always in our hearts.

1. A virtual salute

[kairos12]

4. Thanks Blue Owl.

51. Another virtual salute. And some tears. TAPS always brings on tears.

First heard it at age 7. Played at night for lights out at a YMCA camp on Cape Cod.

The next time was at boot camp in 1965.

The tears started at my dad's funeral. USN WW II veteran buried at the Veterans Cemetery at Otis AFB. Less than 10 miles from the YMCA camp still there serving kids 66 years later.

at rest with his brothers in arms. My parents are interred there, I miss them so and it’s been a long time since I was there. But it is comforting to know they are there among friends.

Although my father flew in the RCAF in the European Theater, he would have held a great affinity for your loved ones, as would I.

My deep condolences.
