Closure

I just got back from AZ, and Ken's funeral. I've never been to a millitary funeral before. It was quite awe-inspiring. The sounds of the honor guard's double time steps on the tile floor of the church as they brought Ken in were haunting. It was great to see people he knew from his base in Germany flew all the way out to AZ to honor him. It was a really difficult thing to go through. A funeral for a young person is hard; especially when that young person outlives his parents. I don't really know what else to say, but if you want to see footage from the media circus that was Ken's funeral, click on the link below and the little red camera.

With that...farewell Ken, beloved son, brother, friend, soldier, and hero.
