Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery

The funeral of my mother n father encased for all eternity together at Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery........

Second visit to FIGNC at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YuZ6TwCl0Y

My Mum was raised in Bergon NJ durring the 1920. My dad was raised a few towns away in Irwin NJ.

My dad enlisted in the US Navy in 1936 or 7 and retired as a CWO2 in 1958 or 59. He was stationed for the majority of his 22 years Navel career at Pearl Harbor and was on duty the morning of Dec. 7, 1941 having the overnight watch on the AM 31 - Tern which was mored across the end of 1010 dock, literally across from Battle Ship row.

My Mum was a great mother and later in life a honest real-estate broker in the Poconos.

Glennnnnn, thanks for the offer regards visiting my dad's grave. I only live 30 miles away and I visit a few times per year. My youngest brother works at the Muir Airfield at the Base and he visit often. Dad's two brothers are buried there too. Someday I'll probably be there as well. It's a small, unique National Cemetery ... and very beautiful during all 4 seasons of the year. Dad had 5 sons, we all served in the military, and I'm a Vietnam War veteran, I was in Army Aviation. ... Bill

This is a nice video respecting the honorable military service of your father and lifetime caring given by your mother. My dad also served in the US Navy during WW2 in the South Pacific. He died in 1993 and is buried at the Fort Indiantown Gap Military Cemetery. RIP all.

@Sandsculptor

Thanks for your nice comment. I felt a little, well perhaps vary un comfortable making the vid at the time but I sure am glad I made the vid now.

Like to pop over to your father's plot next time down and visit n say a few words with him the next time I go down to see my parents. So if you want, please send me a private message with his location number (that little computer near the bathrooms) n I will be honored to visit with him too....

Thanks again, glennnnnnn

Thanks for your nice words......... Just last night I showed this vid to my inlaws in South America. They speak not a word of English, I just a little more in Spanish than than they speak..... But even with the language difference they all could easly read the tears in my eyes.......

Funny, my dad was US Navy but I was US Army, but the feeling is the exact same...............

Thanks again, glennnnn
