Yes, pictures were taken, and a nice write-up. The paper (Hanford Sentinel) is going to give us copies of everything.... If I can figure out how to link them, I'll post them here.. If anyone is interested.

Joe, what a great story. It put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye to read it. My dad was also a World War II vet. He passed away from cancer in 1991. We didn't have a military funeral but we did have a flag draped casket. After the service, my two sons (aged 14 and 11 at the time) took the flag, folded it precisely, and gave it to my mother. I will forever remember that moment and only regret that it was not videotaped.

Great stories guys. Fortunatly, my Grandfather, who is a Korean war vet, is still here with us, but will someday have a full military funeral. But as I look around the room here at home, there are two flags. One was given to me for serving in Afghanistan, and the other is a flag I had flown in honor of my parents over the command post at Kandahar Army Airfield. God bless all our veterans and let nobody forget the sacrifices they have made.
