“Upon entering the sacred gates of this pristine beauty, we were overcome with emotion. Aside from the fact that we were burying our own loved one, it’s also reverence for all the other heroes formerly laid to rest.
The day of our Dad’s service was a tranquil one, aided by the notable guidance of Dave Pimentel, who patiently worked with us in advance, Marco Barajas and the Navy Honor Guard. We can’t thank them enough for the respectful way in which they assisted us, especially Marco who compassionately prepared us for each service detail and ensured that our Dad’s remains were carefully handled in the most dignified manner. The Navy Honor Guard was equally deferential…politely accompanying Dad’s remains, paying tribute both through a lovely Taps rendition and then the flag folding/presentation.
Our Dad would’ve been so proud and honored to see the way in which the staff and volunteers at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery made his service a beautifully respectful one. The kindness they showed our family and the gratitude they possessed for Dad’s military service is deeply appreciated.
In fact, everyone at this location and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is to be commended. Not just for the dedicated way in which our nation’s heroes are laid to rest but also the way in which beautiful cemetery grounds are pristinely maintained out of profound respect for those who deserve the highest honor.”
