Between me and my husband we have three military parents,... They are all still alive, but I heard that these sort of things have to be taken care of ahead of time or they won't have a chance of a military funeral, or a headstone at Arlington. My husband and I are very proud of our parents' service and want to make sure that they are honored for it as best we can, you know, 21 gun salute, headstone at Arlington,... you know!
P.S. Also, I was wondering who of our parents qualifies for a military funeral, My dad retired after 21 years of service, my mom is still in the military and plans to do the same, and my father-in-law served eighteen years before being honorably discharged with the military cutbacks in the eighties.
It's not that I like to think about this,... just want to make sure all is taken care of and done properly.
