As I write this a tear slides down my cheek.  We are preparing to make the trip to Arlington National Cemetery.  Joseph and his crew will be buried on the 27th of August, 2008, nearly 65 years after their death. It was nothing short of a miracle Sandy, John, David, and I are able to attend. Dawn and Dick gave two of the four PADD seats to Sandy and John so the military is flying them up from Australia. Dear friends borrowed us the money for the trip so David and I could drive out and attend. All of our employers gave us the time off.

Be sure to visit The Final Farewell and Thank You page. The Final Farewell has a video of the Story of the Swan being located and the visitation and funeral we attended. And the Thank You page is just that. Please don't feel slighted if you don't see your name or organization listed. There were so many who helped I was bound to forget some. For that I am sorry.
