02.19.99 -- Damnation

Funeral -- Newberry, SC. Frank B. Hyde SFC...Douglas = ate up. Outward Face, Vomacka = ate up. Weapons = ate up (misfires...) It was all FUBARed and a serious disgrace. I feel low low low low -- the last tie to this world & this SFC gets a ruination of a funeral. DS Teope was pissed.

I made an impression on a family today -- we all did...and that impression was of the modern military. We went to represent, and, sad to say...based on my experiences so far -- much of it detailed herein, it was a true representation. We were supposed to be professional -- all regal pomp & circumstance. This man went to war for my country -- he gave of himself & returned home to finish a life of love & service to his church & community...and we screwed up his final honors. There is no correcting this wrong.
