My 94yr old Dad, a well-decorated WWII Vet, combat engineer w/ Patton’s 3rd Corps in France, Central Europe, Rhineland, Ardennes and liberating Bastogne in The Battle of the Bulge, passed on Sept 26th.

The York Color Guard did a 21 Gun Salute, Flag Folding ceremony and 4 A-10 “Warthog” Thunderbolts overflew the Internment ceremony at York’s Mt Rose Cemetery. Blew everyone away, because we didn’t arrange or expect it.

21 jets ought to be an amazing sight.

A minor correction, if, I may.
