Update: Sister's Husband's Funeral @ Arlington today
The GodHatesFags assholes never showed up today, not that we'd notice with all the vet biker groups hanging around.
The Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta along with some 3 star generals showed up to give their respects. They also had a B52 bomber do a flyover because it had a special meaning to my brother in law and his vet buddies.
It was very unusual because they don't do that sort of thing for just anybody and the SoD is a busy guy. The whole ceremony was amazing.
I'm extremely saddened that I had to be in that situation, but I am very happy and honored that I got to experience it.
The entire past 4 days have been very physically and emotionally draining. At least, through his fellow vets who were in theater with him over the past 17 years gave me a real insight into who he was. The good and bad alike, but really not a single person had a bad thing to say about him.
