I have a video of the service too, but may have to upload it to youtube first.

Video coming shortly.....

But until then....... I had a conversation with my brother yesterday, after we found out that we would be receiving a certificate from the White House. A certificate thanking my father for his service to our country signed by (in Gaffer's words) the Dark Lord....My brother and I were both in agreement dad is going to be flipping his ashes over that one.

Trinity. Your dad may be flipping his ashes. But He Was, and Still Is, the Better Man we can all Honor.

Our permanent SALUTE:salute: to Gaffer is worth much more than a Letter from You Know Who.:salute:

Love the pics my friend.
I am so glad Gaffer got the military honor at his funeral service. At first this morn I refused to watch it as I knew it would upset me and it did for a few minutes but then I realized he so deserved to have such an honor at his funeral. And knowing that he got it along with a fine service made it alright..
My friend, our Gaffer, was a class act and an honorable man that had the kind of moral principles that built this nation and made it truly great.. He will be truly missed and already has been by me...--Tyr

Fantastic choice!!! -Tyr

As much as I hate to put this back up at the top of the forum again, I feel I should. I did not have these pics when I originally started this thread so I am adding to it and bumping it back to the top again. I don't want to but I know there are many here who would like to see these pics as well.

Thank you. So glad you did post the pics here my friend. This forum lost a lot with Gaffer's passing.
I think about him a lot , he did so remind me of my older brother..-Tyr
