Father in law’s funeral today. Long cancer battle. He was a builder of many things, most notably some of the first shallow water boats to cruise the TX bays. He was a veteran of the US Army, and for whatever reason the scheduled honor guard was not present at the gravesite service. I was asked to fold and present the flag to his wife. I think it worked out just fine that way. Leaving the cemetery, I asked my 10 year old son if he knew why he practiced folding the flag in Cub Scouts.
