The Fire Department really came through at the funeral on Wednesday. We had a color guard at the funeral home and the chief's car (with lights flashing) was at the head of the funeral procession to the cemetery (about 15 miles). We passed two fire stations along the way and they had the trucks out on the driveway with lights flashing and those on duty stood at attention as the procession passed. At the grave site the color guard folded the American Flag (he was a vet also) and presented it along with a commemorative fire department coin to my wife. All in all very nice and a touching tribute for one of their own.
