Yesterday, my friends and I set out, extremely early, for the Twin Falls area of Idaho. Hazelton to be exact. Our friend, Cherri, is from there and her father passed away on Father's day from complications of prostate cancer and bladder cancer. He has had a terrible go of it and this was a blessing for he and his family.
I was very impressed by the entire funeral, the services, Old glory flying in the breeze, the mature, former soldiers and the 21 gun salute (they were right on que), Taps (the bugler what incredible), and finally I have to say that this sight truly brought tears to my eyes nd a warm fuzzy feeling to my heart. What a tribute to a soldier who has passed on to the other side. I don't know if there is an official name for the rifle, boots and helmut stuck into the ground, but if there a soldierr out there who has served and passes away, I think this should be at every service. Talk about a reverence for patriotism.
Mr. Christopherson and his twin brother served together in the same unit (I believe) in the Pacific Theater in Okinawa. They were SeaBee's and quite honestly I don't hear much about the SeaBee's anymore. Rest in peace and comfort and know that your heroism, service and patriotism will not be forgotten by some.
