With the death of Cpl Buckles, we are witnessing the end of a era. Likewise, our WW2 veterans are passing away at the rate of 900 to a 1,000 a day. Calvin Coolidge said"The nation that forgets its veterans, will itself be forgotten.'

@berlinbear40 Yes, you are correct on all counts. It is truly the end of a very important era. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Thank you...this was especially poignant for me, as my dad received military honors at his interment ceremony a year ago...I did pretty good that day, until the USAF Master Sergeant knelt before my mom with the folded flag and the country's thanks...I wept then, and I shed some tears now.

@Ullarsskald1989 Hello. Thank you for watching and sharing that story. I paid particular attention to when Peter Chiarelli handed Susannah the Flag ... it was very powerful and very emotional. I will never forget it.
