Friday and Saturday

 

 

 

We gathered at O'Hare.  The plane was an hour late.

 

And then it was here.  Alex arrived.

 

We traveled out I-90.

 

 

We paraded through Elgin.

 

 

We got Alex to the funeral home.  The four hour wake would begin soon, but I had to leave.  I will return tomorrow for the funeral and so will many others.

Funeral day.  I will post more photos later.

Alex took extra classes in high school so he could graduate earlier.

So he could join the Marines earlier.

So I want to do a good job.

 

Just one for now -- Governor Quinn who is so diligent about attending KIA funerals in his state.

And is so diligent about acknowledging every PGRider individually on his way inside:
