I feel for you man,

We just buried my 84 yr.old dad this past Saturday.

I road in the coach with my father to the cemetary, and every turn
where the County and State police were blocking traffic, it was
comforting to see the officers stand at attention and salute as we
passed though enroute.

Dad was a decorated WWII Veteran.
