Farewell to Arms

I've wanted to post about Adam's funeral for awhile, but I'm not really sure what to say. I haven't gone into much detail about his death because I don't think that would be appropriate, but it's a sad situation. The funeral was very moving. I'd never been to a military funeral before. Adam was buried in the veteran's cemetery in Houston and his funeral included a 21-gun salute, the playing of Taps (which is when I really cried) and the presentation of flags to his mother, wife and children. I would love to post pictures of all of that, but I don't want to invade anyone else's privacy. Consequently, I'll just post some pictures that I think convey the mood without showing any of the family.
