    Sharing this so people can see what my kids had to go through on one of the worst days of their…read morelives. There is more, but Ron got some if the most important parts. Sad they were done this way I'm going to tell you a story, it's not a funny story but, it's true! A family of five young people goes to a funeral home to schedule a funeral for their father, who lost his life in a house fire. Now, their father was born and raised in this small town and was generally known to the people of his age group , you know, he wasn't the son of the mayor or another prominent member of the community, just an ordinary man. Well, the children of this man pick out an inexpensive casket and accessories for the funeral service,and ask how soon they could have the funeral because some of them were from out of state and needed to return home for work. The funeral director assured them that in just a couple of days they could provide a service for their father that also was an Army veteran. Well, day of the funeral the director calls these young people into his office not less than three times over the meager funeral costs wanting paid before the insurance is even received. Now, the service was closed casket, and they opted for a two hour visitation with burial at the local National Cemetery. The visitation concluded and after being informed that their father who was a Veteran would not receive his military honors at his service rushed through the funeral service and hurried everyone out of the room, no final passing of the casket and was scurrying around the room trying to ding pall bearers. Now naturally the family was upset, this was not what they thought they were paying for they knew it wasn't a 20,000 dollar funeral but this wasn't even close to the funeral service they were expecting. I tell you now this story is true! It was the funeral of my brother James (Jimmy) George and the funeral service was held at the Needham Storey funeral home in Gas City. When my wife Sheri went into the office and spoke to the secretary about the service she rolled her eyes and even laughed at her! Is this the same Storey funeral home we grew up with? I think not.

    If you're active on Yelp, I'm sure you've had the experience of visiting a town or city and…read morediscovering some little gem. When you go to write your Yelp review, you become completely shocked that no one before you has yet to review it. That's how I feel about Marion National Cemetery. As someone from Indy, it's easy to think that Crown Hill is "the" national cemetery in Indiana. Of course, this isn't true. Marion National Cemetery Marion National Cemetery was established after Colonel George W. Steele, Indiana's congressional representative in 1888, convinced Congress of the need for a Soldier's Home in Grant County. The following year, a 31-acre Marion Branch of the National Hope opened. Along with the home, a cemetery was established for the interment of those who died there. The first burial was in 1890. In 1920, the home was renamed Marion Sanatorium. In 1930, administration of the home was transferred to the newly established Veterans Administration. Additional acreage has been added twice in the cemetery's history - six acres in 1974 and six more in 1988. In 1973, the cemetery became part of the National Cemetery system and was given its current name of Marion National Cemetery. In 1999, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. According to its official guidelines, burial in Marion National Cemetery is "open to all members of the armed forces who have met a minimum active duty service requirement and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. A Veteran's spouse, widow or widower, minor dependent children, and under certain conditions, unmarried adult children with disabilities may also be eligible for burial. Eligible spouses and children may be buried even if they predecease the Veteran. Members of the reserve components of the armed forces who die while on active duty or who die while on training duty, or were eligible for retired pay, may also be eligible for burial." Marion National Cemetery is MUCH smaller than Crown Hill, however, it maintains the beauty and dignity one would expect from a national cemetery. I stopped in here while on my Tenderness Tour event because I knew I had a friend whose sister was buried here and I wanted to pay my respects. The cemetery is open daily from dawn to dusk, though the cemetery gate closes at 6pm. Visitors can still access the cemetery through the VA Medical Center Main Gate. Marion National Cemetery now encompasses just over 45 acres and has over 8,000 interments. There are three Medal of Honor recipients buried here. As is true for most national cemeteries, there are also some monuments to be visited here.
