George, Brian's father was a very active member of the VFW. Being that he was a Vietnam era vet, he had great patriotism in his country and was very, very involved, to the point where he missed family events due to his commitment to the VFW.
One of the last projects George was involved in was the creation of the Ulster County Veterens Cemetery in New Paltz. The Cemetery was dedicated on Verterns Day of this year. George told Kathleen (Brian's Mom) that he wanted to be buried there.
Fast forward to yesterday. We had to go to the funeral home and make all the arangements. My mother in law or sister in law had already call the VFW state commander, who George was his assistant and very good friends with. Bob was told that George wanted to be buried in the new cemetery.
Well, in a very George like fashion, George will be the first burial in this area. They had previously intered ashes, but this will be the first casket. It would have made him proud.
Now, please pray for a mild day.
