[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 342824, member: 324"] I have a bag of brass just like that one, at home. From the Veterans Cemetery south of Mandan. My dad has been gone now coming up on three years. The cemetery service, with the honor guard, taps, etc, was the most magnificent thing I've seen. I'm tearing up right now thinking about it. My dad retired after 43 years in the Army, and later became one of the groundskeepers out at the Veterans Cemetery. He was a fixture at that place. When we left the chapel, one of his best friends took his urn for a ride through the grounds, on the tractor that my dad always used. They had that machine spotless. When we got to the grave, they handed his urn to me, and I placed him in the ground. With his friends. With his countrymen. Okay.. someone's gotta be cutting onions nearby. Anyhow, yes, I have a bag very much like that one. [/QUOTE]
