Today I had the honor of being chosen as a pall bearer for my father in law. A US Marine with the 4th Marine Div during WWII who saw action on 3 landings including Iwow Jima.
Recieving 2 Purple Hearts , 2 Bronze Star citations and a Presidential Citation for his efforts.
It was very emotional as we carried him past the Marine Honor Guard and they saluted their fallen comrade as we placed him above his final resting place.

I salute and thank all those that serve our country.
