Wife and I visited the Sacramento Valley Memorial Cemetery in Dixon, CA to visit her 2 uncles buried there. Such a somber, incredible place.
Wife's father was retired Army Ranger. After he died there was a military funeral. When they handed the folded up flag to my wife and quietly said "On behalf of the President and the Secretary of the Army thank you for your father's service" it was extremely moving and sent shivers through me. It still does just remembering it.
 
Daughter had bday yesterday as a United States Marine. Interesting that it was a group in Philadelphia in a bar that started this unique group of crazy patriotic warriors.
