Thanks

Thanks for the comment Lisa W.
The dedication service today went well. They put in a center flag pole for the American Flag and then a half circle that has the flags of the USMC, USN, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard. There were Veterans from each branch that helped hoist the flag of their respective service. The American Legion Commander place a wreath at the base of the American Flag. I was on the Firing Squad that fired 3 vollies and then Taps was played. Quite moving. The Cub Scouts that helped all ask for one of the empty rounds we fired and everybody there made it around to all of the Veterans and thanked them for their service.
Ya a lot in my family have served and that's just what we have found out so far.
