Military funerals at risk in Colorado due to dwindling number of volunteers for ceremonies

When my father passed, after 32 years of service from WWII through Korea and Vietnam, the best they could do was send 1 guy with a tape recorder of taps. The patriot guard was started in Kansas and I still see many of them at the nearby funeral home.

Very thought provoking. As a past special duty honor guardsman, it was my job to provide these services to the fallen. These gentlemen are volunteers. Quite dedicated. And there are volunteers like them all around the country.

Favorite quote from article: All he knows of those who died is that they were willing to die for the U.S. "Each one is treated with the same respect and dignity that they deserve,"
