Had the honor to attend my uncles funeral today at the DFW National Cemetary and I wanted to reach out to the wonderful gentlemen from the group that met us and lead the procession to the service. Really hard to explain what it means to a family when these guys show up to support and honor the family and friends of a 34 year veteran of the U.S. Marine corp
I didn't get a chance to meet everyone and shake everyone of your hands but thank you for your services and I know Master Sargent Edward King would be proud of what y'all did today and the kind words that were spoken By your Chaplin
Thank you again, from all the King and Stewart family members
And guys if you have never visited the DFW National Cemetary, I highly reommend taking the short drive around to just take the expierence all in. It was my first time seeing it and all I can say is it's VERY humbling

I wasn't out there today, but I know it was an honor for them to be there and give the respect your uncle deserves for his service to this nation. It's the least we can do.
Sorry for your family's loss.

My great grandfather and grandfather are out there and both times they did an outstanding job with the service they provide our Vets and their families. Sorry for your loss, Killer.
