My 99 year old uncle passed away recently. He was a WWII veteran who fought in the pacific islands on the USS Essex. I marveled at his ability to recall the islands he fought in and was off the coast of Japan when the A-Bomb was dropped. In his last few years he started to open up on what he did and saw. He was an amazing man.
They played taps at his funeral. It was vey touching.
A fitting tribute to a true American hero.
