moved from the hearse to the grave site at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery,
SEALs were lined up on both sides of the pallbearers route forming a column
of two’s, with the coffin moving up the center. As Mike’s coffin passed,
each SEAL, having removed his gold Trident from his uniform, slapped it down
embedding the Trident in the wooden coffin.
> > The slaps were audible from across the cemetery; by the time the coffin
arrived grave side, it looked as though it had a gold inlay from all the
Tridents pinned to it. This was a fitting send-off for a warrior hero.

forwarding it onto you guys. I am damn proud of our military. If you are
proud too, please pass this on. If not then rest assured that these fine men
and women of our military will continue to serve and protect.
