B W MAY is a sad man.....
When my father-in-law passed away a few years ago the US Army provided a colour party and made his internment something special for our family. He had been a SSGT flight engineer on B-17's [and a temp. USAF Major in the Cuban Missile crisis]
Our funeral director contacted the Army who in turn connected us to a local Guard unit who provided the most professional and polite female Captain and some enlisted personnel...it was like being in a movie..the flag was formally presented to us as a recognition of his service. I have it in my office!
