I took this picture from the car because the rain was strong. I officiated a funeral for a Navy woman veteran. Four people attended and she received full military honors.
Every tombstone had a wreath, put there by individuals who donate it their money and their time to remember our warrior veterans.
Can you tell me of any organization in Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, etc., that honors their past employees?
We remember their sacrifice year after year and their family. If you have some free time this Christmas holiday thank a veteran’s family. They were part of the 1% who served our country to protect the other 99%.
