Darrell,
Glad to hear the family was impressed. Even without the carrier I thought everything was very impressive.
Everyone involved made it a special day for the Family, and personally I was very proud of the way the 8CH and the Military pulled it together with professionalism, honour, respect and dignity for Moncel. After doing some reading about him, he well deserved every bit of it.
No worries about compensation issues, I could't accept anything for doing that and told Maj. Debbie Craig that when she first called me about it.
