Missouri Veterens Salute to a departing Soldier

As dads body was removed from the veterens home in St.Louis, the veterens at the home stood at attention and saluted him as his body passed.  The veterens at the home removed the flag and folded it in front of us and sounded bells as he was removed from the building.  How wonderful that he received this honor.

My father's passing - Othel Bean

The past 16 days has been extremely painful and on the other hand rejoicing.
Dad passed away on April 7th at 3PM at the Missouri Veteren's Home in St.Louis, Mo. He was 90 on January 23, 2011- he suffered a heartache that day. The later part of March fell and broke hip in 4 places. After surgery, he suffered another heartache/stroke and never recovered. The rejoicing part is that he was a faithful Christian. Served the Lord all his life and blieved in Truth. At his parting his face turned into a large smile as the Spirit left him. He no longer suffers from Alzheimers but has a new body. He was buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St.Louis.
