When the U.S. flag is presented to Aunt Grace on Wednesday, the presenter will state: “This flag is presented by a grateful nation for the honorable and faithful service rendered by your loved one.” No truer words can be stated for Uncle Frank. He was honorable and faithful to his Nation not only during WWII, but also all the way up to his death. Uncle Frank was one of millions who served in WWII and he is now joining his many fellow warriors at their rally point in heaven.
The latter part of the statement is “your loved one.” Again, no better statement can be made for a husband and wife who loved each other for 71 years.
We can mourn his passing, but more importantly, we should celebrate his 95 years of living the tenets of duty, honor, and country!
