Is There a Particular Incident You Can Recall Where a Person You Served with Demonstrated Extraordinary Devotion to Duty or Bravery? Please Describe What Happened and How This Impacted You:

I was temporarily assigned to the Honor Guard out of NAS Point Mugu, performing multiple funerals for our honorable veterans — but this one hit home. After folding the flag with a tender heart, I looked to my left following the rifle salute, and there he was — a decorated Vietnam veteran, walking slowly toward me. He took my hand firmly, looked me in the eyes, and said, “Thank you for burying my son with honor. Now I can die peacefully, knowing he was held high by our country.”
