Update
We made the final arrangements for Dave today. He will get a military sendoff at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, MI on July12.There will be Army personnel to speak and a gun salute. He would love that! And I will be given a flag. He will have an Army headstone. The funeral home will contact the VA and will contact GM Benefits about my life insurance, pension and VA benefits. I basically won't have to do anything on my own. This is a load off my mind. So great!

I am so happy some of the stress of dealing with Dave's funeral arrangements has been taken off your shoulders, Marlene. Continued prayers for you and your family during this difficult time...

Marlene,
That is a great honor. The gun salute is uncommon. If you were in the NYC area I would attend. In the past (before Covid) I made many in person clothing donations to VA hospitals and whenever I see a veteran with a black baseball cap with their outfit on I always stop and ask them where they served.

Funerals are so stressful, it's nice they are taking some of the burden from you and your family. Thoughts & prayers for all of you.
