We laid Augie to rest today. The Air force supplied the Color Guard. Those young Airmen are the best. After the ceremony, I had a chance to talk with them. They were interested in his time as a ball turret gunner. They had a great respect for a man who would crawl down into that contraption.

It renewed my faith in this country and it's future to see men such as these doing their duty. I thanked them for their service to us all as well as their help in this time of grief. Their answer was that it was they who were honored to perform this duty to a Vet.

Please keep praying for these and ALL our men in uniform.

Prayers up for today’s generation, that they wake up and understand what makes a nation great.

The old WWII vets, my late father included, already have earned God’s rewards.

My condolences to you and your family.
