They are not forgotten. On a brilliant Saturday morning, at the Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery in the small community of Marana, Arizona, a beautiful thing happened. The cremains of more than 20 veterans were laid to rest with dignity and appreciation. Each of the simple wooden boxes had been left unclaimed, but in this ceremony, each veteran was named, acknowledged with appreciation, and carried with dignity to a final resting place. They may have been forgotten by human beings, but not by Love that prompted this gathering. Jesus once told his friends: “In my Father’s house are many rooms…” and I will go and prepare a place for you. No one gets left behind. No one is forgotten in the mind and heart of God. This morning they rest in the earth, acknowledged with appreciation by the living, received with joy by Life’s Source. Welcome home. Be at peace.

What a gracious and patriotic happening. Thanks for sharing it.
P.S. Pastor Carol George lead the R@SB service yesterday for the first time – good but not quite Rogerisk.
It was a moving experience. Wish you could have been there. And….no comparisons. We all do it differently and she will be a fine leader, I’m sure. Also, I told you and Dee that this is the final retirement; no more active ministry. Well, I started a Bible Study/Spiritual Discussion group here at Album last week. We will meet twice monthly. Next time will be my last retirement. R
