My dad, who was also a SSgt in the Marine Corps during WWII passed away 8 years ago today. He was a Fire Chief and his wishes were to have a Military Funeral. The hardest thing that I ever did for him was that I played Taps at his Funeral. I can tell you that I cried like a baby! That was a rough day that I will never forget. Rest in peace Dad! I think of you everyday . I love you!

While we are taught to stand like soldiers nothing wrong with a few tears - or a bunch. What a way to honor your father.

For me it was telling them that our daughter did not make it. Shot of straight whiskey, phone call. Another shot another call until all were notified.

My brother, an Army vet, and I presented the flag from my stepfather's casket to my mother, he was an Air Force vet and passed away unexpectedly at 46. I had done plenty of funeral details before, but presenting the flag and uttering the words was the hardest thing I have ever done to this point in my life.
