Today was very sad as we brought our brothers cremated remains to the Jacksonville National Cemetery for burial with full Marine honors. Everyone we came in contact with very professional, helpful, and caring. The Marine burial detail was extremely beautiful and moving. The entire cemetery staff provided comfort to the family and his friends at the ceremony. My brother's wishes were to be buried here to rest beside his fellow veterans. He was very proud of his Marine service and grateful for all the care the VA had provided for him. and helped with through the last difficult years of his life. Thank you to everyone involved.
