I have only been to 2 military burial services.

the first was my ex husband's platoon sergeant. he was also the god father of our first born son. he was the only NCO that did not try to break us up because we were in the same unit but different platoons. he was killed in a very accident on Fort Riley KS. a tree fell on his car and crushed him in it. he suffered.

his service was held there on Fort Riley for his fellow unit members to attend, it was very heart breaking when they did roll call and got to his name...they called it several times with no response.

then the gun salute and taps played. I cried the entire service.

the second service was a graveside service for my Granddad when he passed away. The gun salute, taps, the flag folding and presenting to my uncle about killed me. if my husband that I am with now hadn't been there to hold me up I would have passed out from too much emotional distress.

if I were to attend another military service, I don't know how I would handle it. I see the ones that the patriot guard rides to protect and I cry. so I guess I would cry for the loss of the family's loved one.
