A Marine at Rest

Yesterday I had the privilege of being present at a funeral of a former Marine...
This Marine was the grandfather of one of my oldest, dearest friends...

Listening to his life sketch you knew this was a man who was loved and knew how to love back...
Sharing his passions with his son and his grandchildren...

We then moved on to the graveside service.

He served in the Pacific during WWII

It was my first military funeral and I found myself tearing up as I was taking pictures for the family...
It was moving...
