Thanks Deborah. My husband is a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant. This photo was taken in April at my Uncle's funeral. He was a WWII, Korea and Viet Nam Veteran. I had never attended a military funeral until his and I held it together fairly well until they played taps.

I have another shot I'm going to upload tomorrow from the same funeral. #5976586

Wow. I've been tearing up looking at all the Memorial Day tributes and this one put me over the top. It's a very very emotional image. I understand your comment about Taps. I can't hear it without crying. #5979928

Wow Vonda! This is a wonderful tribute to your Uncle! My son has just joined the Australian Army so this is very emotive for me at the moment! #6156936
