Sunday

“I was down at the M.G. (miniature golf) all day then I went home and Bill came back with me. Bill and me were sitting in the car eating. Mal (Malcolm) was just leaving for home then but he came over and talked to us for a long time. Then Bill said I think I’ll go get a beer and he asked Mal if he wanted one and he said, “yes”. . .

When Bill left, Mal got in the car with me. We were sitting there talkin then Bill came back with the beer and he game one to Mal, every time he took a drink he gave me one out of his can! Then Bill got out of the car again and Mal started asking me questions.

He asked me if I went to M.B.H.S and he asked me how old I was. He thought I was 15. After he found out how old I was he kinda ignored me but I kept staring at him and smiling.

All that night I could not go to sleep for crying over him. I never cried so much!” – End

A Military Funeral And Procession – Video Of Military Folding The Flag

These funerals are conducted with the utmost precision which families are entitled to if their loved one served in our nation’s military.

Any military funeral can have guards of honor, the firing of ‘volley shots’ as a salute, drumming or other military elements. However, the procession is often the beginning of it all. This is when the family members and friends are led to the funeral by way of escort which spotlights your loved one in such a way that it becomes a public statement of fact. In short, it disciplines everyone involved and those who witness it into an understanding that the people who serve our country are extremely important, not only to our country and our communities but in the hearts of every American. Therefore, great efforts are made to honor their service and sacrifice for our country because not all of us serve and yet, we all enjoy the benefits of such service.

The procession is conducted by Veterans.

They lead all vehicles to the funeral site. Also, once the procession is in motion, it has the right-of-way in traffic (according to local ordinances) and all motorists must yield until the procession has passed.

Those in charge of the procession are very skilled and know how to keep you moving (even through red lights) while directing the other motorists to stop.

Along the way, you must drive slowly and keep close to the vehicle in front of you.

Few of us realize the tradition involved in a military funeral procession unless we experience it first hand. It is both exciting and overwhelming.

This particular procession was in honor of my Great Uncle Roy who served in WWII and I was amazed at the dedication that it takes to make sure that our service members are properly honored in this way. We even saw pedestrians standing in salute as we went by which really drives this experience home. If you do ever see a procession, please show your respect. It is greatly appreciated!

The funeral itself had its own tradition beginning with the sounding of “Taps”. This is when they bring in the casket covered by the American flag. This is also the moment when most people cry because that song, at all times, reminds us of those who have served in the Military of the United States and knowing one of them personally, hits you right in the heart. I suppose that deep-down, not only are we grateful but we are guilty of living FREE lives (without consequence when we don’t serve) and therefore, it deepens our appreciation to those that do.

Afterwards, they take the flag from the coffin and fold it.

Then they present it to the family members. Please watch this video to see how precisely this is done:

This post is dedicated to all those who serve our nation! Thank You!

Miss Norma’s Diary – July 15, 1960 – “and then he smiled real big”

Friday

“Barbara and I went down to the M.G. (Miniature Golf) and Larry was there by himself. When we first came up to the office, Larry smiled and talked to us. Then Ray asked us if he could have one of our free games and we said ‘no’ and then he said ‘that’s not fair you should give me one’ and Larry said ‘that’s not the way they look at it’ and we laughed. . .

. . .Then Barb wanted to use my radio so she went to get it out of my purse and Ray saw my movie magazines and he said, “Well see you got some nude books” and Barb said ‘no’ and Larry laughed. . .

. . . After a while somebody hit the ball at the 19th hole and it didn’t go in the box, so Larry had to go in the cage and get it, and on the way in there he said to us, ” I wish people would hit the balls harder,” and then he smiled real big. When Larry was in the cage I said to him, ” I think I’ll lock you in – ” and he smiled. Later Larry was talking to some boys. . .

. . .They were trying to guess where Larry worked. He works in a liquor store. . .

. . . Norma + Troy Larry”

Miss Norma’s Diary – July 14, 1960 – “P.S. I like dollface too!”

Thursday

“Miniature golf course again! We handed Troy Larry our cards and he said to us, ‘Well you had a pretty prosperous night last night’, (meaning the cards) and then he smiled then we played the game as fast as we could. When we were through playing we sat on the counter for a long time. Larry was there by himself. Then later his mom and dad came and Larry left.

I watched Larry as he ran to his car – the way he runs – it cracks me up but it suits him because he’s such a darling. I think Larry’s father likes me but I don’t know about his mother. I guess she likes me. Well, at least I hope she likes me. Well, nothing else very interesting happened so I’ll write tomorrow. . .

. . .P.S. I like dollface too! (heart)

P.P.S. Last night at home I didn’t get a wink of sleep thinking about Larry.

Norma + Larry” – End

Wednesday

“Barbara and I went down to the miniature golf course and Troy Larry was there and then Tim came there too. Jim is the other man that works there sometimes. Well tonight we found out that that English man is ‘Larry’s’ father.

Jim kept kidding me about my purse. First he asked me if I carried my lunch in it and then he said something else but I can’t remember now. Well anyway, Larry looked at me and said to Jim “Don’t you know that’s a gunnie sack” and then he laughed and smiled at me. I was sitting on the counter by myself and then Harry came over and sat by me. Then he got down and went into the office. He got the box and stick then he crawled back over the counter and he put the stick in my purse and we laughed. Pretty soon Larry went home“. – End
