It's been one week since my father passed away and I'm trying to memoralize him and work through my feelings in one of the few ways I know how.

The picture contains a photo of my dad from 1961 when he was only a private in the Army, his burial flag, the chest containing his ashes and a button I got for him as a joke gift a few years ago. The button read 'Old Soldiers Never Die... (your Mom just threw them away)'. It's brought a bit of levity to the whole affair, which I'm certain my dad enjoys.
My dad always had an eye for an attractive woman. So, I feel I may have to shoot a military based set soon and dedicate it to him as my final tribute. I'm sure he would appreciate it. I just can't show it to my mom.
My fathers ashes will be placed in Arlington National Cemetery on the 4th of September at 9AM.
