My grandmother and maternal uncle are buried with him.

My grandfather was no prince, but I’m glad they’re clearing out the scum.

When we buried my grandfather in 2007, his Air Force honor guard was commanded by a woman. He wouldn’t have been too happy about that (ultra conservative Southerner). But my liberal mother, sister, brother, and I thanked her for the superb job she did.
