What an honor for all of us at Veterans Funeral Care to have a small part in your Military Honors Ceremony. After talking to your daughter, I wish I had met you! A Christian and a Navy Cross winner. A real hero.
I was recently in Atlanta, thinking about Rev. George White, USMC, and what he did for our great nation.
So very sorry for your loss and grateful for all that Pastor Elliott did for our country and all the people to which he ministered. We are honored to be a member of the Veterans Funeral Care network from Indiana because of heroes like Pastor Elliott.
