    Two enlisted Marines in dress uniform were present at my son’s graveside service three years ago. Taps was very good that day. One Marine held the trumpet as though playing it, but it was really a recording in the horn. Did not matter, the scene was perfect. Semper Fidelis good boy.

    Thanks y’all. This fellow wrote a song for my son and sang it at the service. Here’s one by J Edwards “Ain’t Gonna be Your Dog.” J’s a good ole boy.
