Sir, I was on the Scott Air Force Base Honor Guard detail that buried you at Jefferson Barracks. I stood over you grave with Old Glory draped over your coffin while your young son bravely said some words. Don’t know how I was able to keep together while he spoke. I proudly folded the flag that was presented to your wife. RIP L. Douglas Abram’s.
