    The gentleman in the blue suit who presented the flag is Lloyd Austin lll Secretary of Defense. He and I shared offices as Captains. Equally a good man who hates the labeling of humans.

      Sir, my family is in the funeral business and I have had the honor of participating in funerals at Arlington. I have two questions which I hope you can answer:
      1. Why wasn’t the casket transferred to the horse drawn caisson as usual?
      2. Why was the Catholic priest a civilian rather than an army chaplain?
      Thank-you

      @@francisruggiero8361 good morning Friend . First thank you for any services you performed for any of my Brothers or Sisters, far too often no one recognizes the importance of you in the last chapter of our time with the loved one.
      As I understand it there was a private funeral at his home church and then he transported to Arlington. The family may have chosen to not request the horse drawn caisson. Tradition requires the full panoply of the military funeral for a death on active duty or state funeral.
      The Army Chaplin was present, actually the Chief of Chaplains, but he did just the standard prayer for a soldier. The Catholic priest was the family priest.

    My dad was in WWII, and he was of African American and Senegalese descent. He did not personally know this person but knew that this man had made general many years ago. My dad was the late Sgt. AR Steele and although he was a non-com he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Daddy was also in charge of an ammo dump in the area that he was assigned to work in and protected his men well. I and my brothers were not born until the late 1950s, so he was someone to admire and look up to. He was my hero and our mom who was his wife was my role model. She was a teacher, and I also became one. Finally, our family did give him a military funeral at the graveside ceremony for him. Grahams Funeral Service helped us with this, and they were African American also. This was in January of 2001. We folks of color care also about freedom and liberty.
