Passed on to me, by of all people..the Noid.

Corny but quite true. Fewer and fewer each day.

One of my longest-standing regrets will be that my
grandfather did get a salute at his burial. He was
in france with the AEF. He's on the left in this
shot:

I still have the whistle that's clipped to his epaulet.
Note the cool tractor in the background, complete with
CCl4 fire extinguisher, kerosene marker lights, and what
I *think* is an acetylene searchlight.

But he really did deserve a flag and a salute.
