My brother served in the Marines. Had been stationed in Japan at one time. Upon return and exiting as an active Marine, he is presently involved in a Marine Detachment group, serving as an Honorary Guard. He participates in the Military funerals and has such a respect and honor in doing this. He is at SEMO fair every year promoting the Marines. One night at the fair before a tractor pull, they started playing the Star Spangled Banner, he abruptly stopped conversation turned soldier like on his heels to properly pay respect for our flag. I cried I was so proud of him. He is 70 years old.
