We will be conducting a flag retirement on the 15th. I will lay the last Union on the pyre in memory of Conrad Sigmon, USN.

I am thankful that I got to spend the day yesterday with him, and tell him that I loved him. Not everyone gets that chance.

My heartfelt condolences.
The guys in the merchant marine and the guys that protected them were unsung heroes in the U boat war off our coast.
My father was a WW II verteran as well, - 80th Division Blue Ridgers with Patton's 3rd - Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge.
I was not with him when he passed away very unexpectedly from a visiting nurse's injection administered to him at home.

I'm glad you were blessed to spend the day with him and he passed away peacefully.
Prayers to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss John. Sounds like he had a good life. Prayers for you and your family.

 

[Screaminhelo]

It is my honor to do so John. You father and his fellow WWII vetetans have been my heros as long as I can remember.

 

[GregGleason]

So sorry for your loss. I'm glad that you were able to spend time with him and say the things that need to be said.

I went through that loss last year. It's tough. I miss him.

Sorry for your loss.
May his soul rest in God's loving arms.

 

[JStarStar]

Sorry for your loss, but happy your dad's final moments were pain-free and surrounded by his loved ones.

My dad would have turned 91 Sunday, and like yours he was a WWII veteran. As the final members of that generation pass on, we should all remember that FAIAP, they saved the world.

 

[ThirstyBarbarian]

I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I hope you and your family are alright. Take care.

You were very lucky to get those moments with him. Cherish those.

 

[proflaser]

I am sorry for your loss. My dad died just this August at the age of 97, so I am still recovering from his departure. It's tough, but you do what you have to do to get through it. He was also a WWII vet and a pilot that flew combat in Korea. That generation had adventures we can't imagine. They were heroes.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers sent.

Well, the funeral was yesterday, and things went really well. It was tough, but there was a lot of fun reuniting with family and old friends, too.

At the graveside, I really lost it when they played taps, but it was even harder when they handed the flag to my mom. Those were my two roughest moments.

I haven't slept well, but other than that, things have been going very smoothly. Thank you all for your prayers.

I just about lose it when ever I hear Taps played unless it was preceeded by Tattoo.

Thank you for sharing John. Such services mean a lot to me.
