The Casing Ceremony

No Gravatar

Don’t let anyone tell you different – there is NOTHING good about a casing ceremony if you’re a wimp like me.

They rolled up the flag, put it in it’s bag and stood at attention and there I was fighting to hold the tears back.

And THAT was just halfway through the ceremony.

So imagine what I was like once it was over.

We were “invited” to shake the hands of the soldiers and wish them well as they go downrange.

I was bawling like a baby … I don’t think anyone would have appreciated ANY gesture from me.

/sigh
