Attending my Brother's funeral yesterday noticed something I thought was long gone.
Military burial at Fort Custer National Cemetery.
During the Funeral procession to the fort (12-14 miles).
A vast majority of the oncoming pulled over.
Many drivers exited there vehicles as we passed had removed hats, if worn .
I had truly thought in this day and age that respect was long gone.
Inside the cemetery , all grounds keepers , on mowers, using leaf rakes , including maintenance vehicles .
Immediately paused, showing respect as the procession passed.
As funerals are never pleasant , That truly was uplifting.

God Bless the USA , and there serving members.
Nothing but respect to you.

Thank You to all that serve.

When I was a kid, our public school busses would stop for a parade. Small businesses would lock their door and pull down a window shade during funerals.

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, here, has a funeral every 10 minutes, Would be nice, but pretty tough for everyone to stop out of respect.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

I will never let another funeral procession pass me again without showing as much respect as possible.
The dignity and respect is appreciated more than ever known.
Truly a soul touching gesture of respect.
I will never hesitate.

Thx for your condolences to all.
