In San Antonio. Been to two funerals there recently where burials were delayed a bit - not nearly as long as Arlington.

So many veterans are dying today from WWII to Korea to Vietnam to Kuwait, Iraq, etc.

My husband and I will have half our ashes place in a mausoleum at Fort Sam. My husband is a vet. The other half will be sprinkled in Rocky Mountain National Park.💕
