Erin Nelson Let's see if we can't find a way to get some assistance for you. The National Burial plot provides the Head Stone and the plot through the VA. I know that for a fact because we buried my father-in-law down in Killeen, TX that those are included. Give me a call ASAP.

My condolences Erin. I'd help out if I could, right now my wife and I are waiting for everything to settle with the property transfer, and find out what taxes will be on the property, your in my prayers.

RP - Erin Nelson needs some help and I call upon one and all to help her in her time of need. Her father, Sgt John Bryce Bryant, was a one of us that helped serve his country for over 9 years. Erin has been by her fathers side through some tough major operations over these past few months and has not been able to work.

All of us here at RP can help and here are two ways:
1. Pass her post on to all your contacts on RP and add a note.
2. Dig into your pocket an contribute - Please.

Let's all help Erin give her father a proper military burial.

Rest in Peace Sgt John Bryce Bryant USAF and welcome home.

Thank you and bless you all on RP,
Mark S. Kuzinski

Thank you RP and God Bless you all

So far there have been 1500 shares and a total of $50 received in donations.
I cant do this alone, I am trying. If each person who shares donated even $1 dollar, we would be already halfway to the goal. I have people telling me just donate his body to science, just cremate him and dump the ashes in the river. That is not what he wanted, he told me what he wants and I am doing my very best to give him that. Please I could not stand it, if I had to do the above just because of money. If I had known, perhaps I would have been more prepared but I doubt it because we didnt know he was sick. After his surgery, I thought he was ok, he thought he was ok, and resource was used in his healing and progress. Please help me give his final farewell the way that he wanted, burial at the National Cemetary and a graveside acknowledgement. He wasnt looking for a big hooray but he definitely wanted to be placed in the ground, not burned, not torn apart for science.
There is no one else that is going to take responsibility and assist me in this. It is just me.
It has been just me and my dad for many years. Now its just me.
My heart is broken and I appeal to you as fellow brothers in service,
Thank you.
Erin M Nelson

I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He is in a better place now where there is no more pain and he is thankful for the tenderness and care that you gave him during his illness. God Bless you and give you strength to deal with your loss. I will pray for you and make a few phone calls as well to let my friends know that we have lost another brother and they will make a donation as well. Take Care Erin you are not alone!

Thank you SFC Jim Ruether between RP and what I have raised selling pretty much everything I own 2/3 is covered. Still need 1040. The funeral home at least will pick dad up today the hospital otherwise was 104 per day storage. They need a new word for that. It is hurtful to use in this setting. Thank you RP combined RP members have raised 745 I salute you each and everyone
