Clouds partially blocked the sun giving us some relief as the 6 of us stood to honor Mr. World. His brother chatted awhile thanking us for being there. This was one of the largest turn outs we've seen for a veteran. The service lasted about an hour & a half. The FD & I discussed the position of everyone for the procession but no mention was made by him that the coach would be leaving early. When it suddenly left we were caught off guard. LEO's told us he was going ahead to switch the casket from the coach to a horse drawn caisson for the short ride to the internment site. We then re positioned at the cemetery where it was decided to quietly depart.
Don did his usually great job of pre staging 7 flags which really helped the visual. It was a long day & I really thank you patriots for showing up for Mr. World & his family.
