My Uncle Jack arrived home late on 30 Jul from Hawaii. His service was the following morning. It was a lovely ceremony. There were 14 children in Jack’s family. Only my Aunt Bonnie still remains. She traveled from Michigan to WV and then we traveled from WV to Pittsburg, PA and back for his remains. The Patriot Guard escorted the remains from Pittsburg to WV. I cannot say enough good things about all those who participated from Hawaii to his final resting place. If ever anyone questions how great our country is, they just need to see all that goes into bring these loved ones home and to their final resting place. |
