DaGimp 0 #1 May 11, 2005 Im leaving home for ohio tomorrow, but not for a regular visit. I will be waering my dress blues, tapps will be played, and a folded american flag will be given to my grandmother, for my grandfather a Vet from the vietnam war has passed away tonight. Sadly enough i feel more for my younger cusins who have never gone through losing someone close to them. And this comes when i am having so many other problems in my life....."Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdog 0 #15 May 11, 2005 My grandfather was a WWII vet... He never fought overseas, but paid his time as a scientist making a certain bomb, if ya know what I mean... So I never thought of him as an Army man, so the Army being there was out of place to me at first. He died when I was 12. (I just turned 30, so that is a while back.) I will remember a few things for the rest of my life - with picture perfect memory. 1) The folding of the flag and being handed to my grandmother. 2) The sound of the guns. 3) He had a long struggle with death, so I was almost happy it finally came. I did not cry at first, because, well, it was time... Or so I thought... Then, one of the flag folding officers (forgive me for not knowing their official name) shed a tear and could not wipe it for the whole service while holding the flag. I lost it seeing the tear. How could a guy who never knew my grandfather shed a tear, so I thought? I can't say I know what you are going thru, but I can say I have been there. I wish you and your family well, and I am sure the experience will be as positive as it can be, perhaps, you will even have fond memories like I do many years after.

Guest #16 May 11, 2005 You have my condolences also. If you can, tell them stories about him that they may not have heard yet. It is a good thing to share stores from a life well lived. You can have it good, fast, or cheap: pick two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
