When Curtis R. Johnson Jr. spoke, it was very hard for me to hold back the tears.  He done a wonderful job getting across to us what it meant to return from War without having someone spit in your face or curse you.  His speech was very emotional and straight from the heart.  He is an American Hero to me.

Amazing Grace played on the Bagpipes by James Austin

This part of the Service was just simply breath taking.  There were White Pigeons in these three baskets that were released as James played the Bagpipes.
