It's a good thing and I kind of feel at peace around my Uncle and his parents and siblings now. You people also did that for me, and I won't forget that.
Carman, it was our honour to pay respects on behalf of the family. To me, knowing some of his personal history, it made his grave stand out between all the others. You and your family can feel at peace, as Uncle Eddie is among friends and fellow combattants, and rests in sacred ground remembered by his family.
