Major Alan Greg Rogers, RIP

These stories always do me in, but this one in particular really moved me. Maybe it was because he outlived both his parents, maybe because I have done military funerals myself and so could identify with many of the sounds, maybe it was because my mother grew up in Washington, D.C., and so I could see Arlington National Cemetery in my mind’s eye, maybe it was because it came on Easter week.In any event, you need to take the time to listen to it all–KSH.
