Danny Casolaro medal? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

bell83 · 10-19-2017, 09:59 AM

So, I have read and seen a lot on the "mysterious military man" who showed up and placed a medal on Casolaro's casket. But nowhere have I seen anything about what it was. It seems like it would've been pretty easy to verify that it happened. Not saying it did or it didn't, but does anyone know for sure that it DID? Did anyone get a glimpse of what medal it was? Or was it actually found before they filled the grave in?

Some people have speculated in other threads that the military guy showed up to the wrong funeral.

That would certainly explain it.

Personally, I don’t understand this and want to call BS on it. It is well within a family’s right to stop a funeral when someone you don’t recognize approaches and places something on top of your loved one’s casket during a service. I mean, if it was your family and someone did that, wouldn’t you stop it and inquire?

Not to mention that Danny's friends, many of whom were journalists, were there too. At least one of them would've wanted to look and see what the man put on his casket.

Exactly. Or at the VERY least, as Cars said, check what he put there. Or go after him and be like "What the hell? Who are you?"

Yes, that's very frustrating. Wouldn't your first instinct be to stop him before he drove off?

It's just like in past cases where people would tell their loved ones that they were getting death threats and the loved ones would do...nothing.

Please do something, people.

You reminded me of the L'Enfant segment, in the psych ward.

"Oh, and you had a call from a Mr. L'Enfant. He said he's going to get you."

I realize I'm paraphrasing.

It seemed to me in the segment that the funeral was basically over and they were pretty much lowering the coffin into the ground. It is possible the military man did not seem as conspicuous to everyone there, especially if the funeral was over. Family, friends and colleagues may have been talking amongst each other or already dispersing.

I have only been to a couple of grave site funerals, but the ones I have been to, most people were leaving by the time the coffin was lowered. This incident struck me as though the family did not say anything at the time, each thinking that the others knew the man and/or why he was placing the medal.

So in the moment and with the situation, I could see how some may not want to “call the man out” at the time. But I know my own family would at least whisper amongst themselves. Of course not everyone would do that either.

At any rate, I do think the the incident was real.

It happened. Placed a medal on his casket, saluted and left.

Guess the family just thought-well Danny's life had been weird for years, probably met hundreds of bizarre characters on his Octopus travels & this is just one of them.

I find it odd that no one recognized him, but no one questioned him, and no one looked at what exactly he put on the coffin.
