you know, you don’t want to lose focus on what you’re here for. it’s a place of honor and respect for the ultimate sacrifice these soldiers are making. 32 years plus...I’ve done some of everything from janitorial to cutting the grass to laying sod, whatever was needed. .... in the beginning i worked at the tomb of the unknown, so ceremonies, ceremonies, presidents... carter, ford, the bushes, the first the second bush, who else, mr, not obama, clinton, phew! i think it turned in ‘96, when I totally came over to the internment side, and had to deal with that part of it. the responsibility was probably 10x greater. wow it’s quite a place, you see some of everything, you meet a lot of people a lot of great people, see a lot of the families, the sadness, the happiness, it’s part of what you do... you build relationships, especially with the families visiting graves throughout the years, you see them day in and day out year after year, and even in some cases where they perish and they joined their loved one and you know these people. it’s quite a place. it varies we can 20 funerals in one day, and sometimes we can have as little as 3 or 4. its a job, it’s a routine and we do it every day, we can do it with our eyes closed, but we can’t take it that way, every service is important, whether it’s a private or a general, it’s special, and it’s special to their families. we want them to be at peace as much as we can, with our part of what we do. that we did a decent job, that we were respectful, that we did them right. i think it takes a certain amount of pride within yourself. if you don’t you shouldn’t be here. you should go and do something else. no i’m not special, i want to do what i do good, but we got a whole lot of heroes around here, whole lotta heroes. great heroes, done great things.
