Jean
R. [1923 - 2002, was a Captain during the Korean Conflict and preceded
her husband in death by nearly 4 years.
As Jean preceded her husband in this stacked grave, her casket lies at
the lower level. |
TAPS
is sounded by a bugler whose position directly in front of the tree

haunting rendition of this traditional military salute. |
