I was active duty when my dad passed away. My dad served 31 years active duty, a WWII combat veteran and served from 45 to 71 on an artificial leg lost in WWII. I was really angry when some civilian lady told me on the phone (I was an SSG/E6 at the time) that we lived to far from the nearest installation to get a funeral team and to just get the local VFW to do the honors.
Now about 2 weeks prior I had just been in charge of the rifle team at a funeral. 1 officer, 2 SSGs, enlisted included the 7 man rifle team, 6 pallbearers and a bugler. We had traveled about 700 miles one way from Ft Knox. The man we honored served in WWI, never left the US, and had been a Pvt. We are 181 miles from Ft Snelling and 600 from Ft Riley. This was in 1988. I called the Command Sergeant Major of the Army (CSM). Dad had his honor guard! When I got back to Ft Knox my CSM (Bn level) had talked to the Army CSM. He chewed me out for doing that. Told me had I called him he would have sent my Platoon to burry my dad. 915 miles one way! If the Veteran or their families wish a military funeral or internment in a national cemetery, well we earned it.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
