does not play but the entire thing is 51 seconds long! does not seem like it was long enough for him to be a problem

of course if you are armed to the teeth and weighted down in assault garb it can seem like forever

If they leave Mickey Dees they would find themselves on the streets.

What is the proper way to dispose of a worn out flag, guys?

I never owned a Flag so I guess it's not an issue.

However I have instructed my kids to make sure that when I croak they get the one that I am entitled to as a Veteran of the United States Air Force.

I do not want to go to my grave having left any of my government entitlements on the table.

They will fix you up with a tombstone as well, won't they?

I never heard of that one.

They couldn't do that for everybody.

There's too many veterans for that.

That's probably something you only get if you do something like save a bunch of your buddies by throwing yourself on a grenade.

Damn, you were right Don.

I get a free tombstone too!

I've seen these in boneyards before but I never realized what they were!

I like it.

Simple and tasteful and best of all Free!

You know how us liberals like Free Stuff!

I can't wait till I get mine!

Any veteran, anywhere, any date of death. But it's just a little GI headstone....

So, if I'm cremated in the yard on a bonfire as per my directions, or if not in a cardboard box at a crematorium and later have the attendees collect some ashes from a bowl to distribute as they see fit, what would be appropriate for the GI stone?

I think you are entitled for one since you were honorably discharged ( )

check with your local VA office for details

I can be buried out in Riverside but its pretty hot out there lol.

If you request it they will bury your ashes at sea....they did it on the Abraham Lincoln all the time, usually right after reveille on the fan tail with an honor guard....maybe that is what I will ask for. Haze gray and underway for eternity lol.

Per the government website linked-to above, you can get a headstone or bronze marker, inscribed 'in Memory of' at top, but it has to be for placement in a recognized cemetery. So you'd have to buy a plot or niche to put it on.
