Full Military Honors
Here are a few pictures from my brother's internment ceremony on Friday, May 25th at Arlington National Cemetery with "Full Military Honors". It is a very moving and impressive ceremony.

The caisson arrives at the columbarium.



The Honor Guard



The Army Band and Rifle Squad



Members from the USMVMC in attendance, individually file past the vault containing his ashes and pay their final respects with a salute.



Group photo of members of the USMVMC in attendance along with my sister, younger brother and myslef.


and, if you look real close, there's a Brother Doof in that crowd.

Very moving pictures - they raised the hair on my arms. Must have been a very emotional ceremony to see in person.

Thanks for sharing with us, Scabby...
