Very off topic
#4
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. What an honor to be buried in Arlington National Cemetary. I have been there and it is absolutely beautiful. I am gratified to learn that the military still handles these ceremonies with aplomb. I went to a military funeral in Memphis for someone who was very, very close to me. They brought honor to the entire proceedings. I will never forget the care with which they folded the flag. It was very moving and something you have to experience to appreciate. The servicemembers they choose for this duty are chosen very carefully, and have earned the honor.

Losing a parent is a difficult experience. I'm glad that you felt comfortable enough to share this here, where the topic can be whatever you wish.
