    ​@@LarryVarner-zq5zdHer father fought the most diabolical thing that existed at the time. He helped make the world a better place. And today, his memory is trampled underfoot by supporting a country that adorns itself with the insignia of the former SS and Ukrainian SS units. The "famous" Azov Battalion, for example, bears the sun wheel and the wolf's angel as its coat of arms. And the then Ukrainian SS Division led the trident, which is now a state symbol. What did her father die for back then?

    My Dad was US Navy E3 during the Korean War and I was handed his flag when I was 16. I have witnessed several in my family being handed flags. To be handed the flag of a loved one brings forth a mix of emotions, pride, despair, sorrow to name but three. Years ago it was my aunt's turn to get my cousin's flag. Normally the military will supply poll bearers if requested. My aunt made such a request as his friends were too broken up to do a proper job of it. So eight men all in the uniforms of enlisted men performed that duty. I have seen this done several times prior to that including the above with my Dad and I always took note of the precision and solemnity of that sacred duty. But with my cousin it seemed a little off like the eight men had never done this before. They also looked a bit old to be privates and corporals with only one sergeant who also seemed like the only one who knew what he was doing and seemed like he was the youngest. Later my aunt told me that the eight poll bearers had been officers who requested the duty and since only enlisted could perform that duty they all donned the uniforms of enlisted men. Seems all eight had at one time or other had their lives saved by my cousin. That is all we were told. To this day my aunt has no idea of the circumstances of my cousin's death or his relationship with those eight men. He got a purple heart and a bronze star. All eight told my aunt his actions were consistent with the actions of a person deserving the medal of honor. But all told my aunt that they cannot divulge anything else as it's classified. That was about 30 years ago. I still wonder what he did that 8 officers would do that. At least they folded the flag correctly.

    I was a guide at Arlington National Cemetery for three years. I was sometimes stunned by the lack of respect given to the men and women laid to rest at Arlington...It was once the property of General Robert E Lee's in-laws. He is not buried there. But many who fought and died during the US Civil War are...from both sides. You can tell the difference due to weather the marker has a rounded top *Union* or a pointed top *Confederate* the reason for the pointed top was the Confederates didn't want Union Soldiers sitting on their graves. For any movie fans reading this Lee Marvin is buried below the site of the Unknown Soldiers.
