The family sent the following note after the service: “Patti, on behalf of our family, we wanted to let you know that we were honored to have your group show up and support our family during our fare-well services for our Dad. We were not expecting that and are deeply grateful for your support! Thank you all for your service to our great nation. Semper fi”

The USMC provided an honor guard complete with the playing of Taps and the presentation of the US flag to the surviving family members.
