Yesterday I had the privilege to attend Micheal Alleman's funeral. It was the most touching funeral I have been to. What an amazing man. Micheal's wife and mother both spoke as well as a family friend. The spirit was so strong. I cried a lot, but also felt the peace of the Holy Ghost. We went to the cemetery which was awesome to see the military rights performed. Along the road from the church to the cemetery they had flags along the street and also the children from the school where Micheal taught lined the streets waving flags. There were soldiers in uniform along the road saluting and two fire trucks with the ladders up and a flag hanging down formed an arch to drive under. It was amazing, to say the least. What a tribute to Amy and her boys and all of their family. We passed around the tissues in our car and at the graveside service. Once again, Thank you to Micheal and his family for such a hero and for allowing Micheal to serve our country and protect my freedom.

Thanks for sharing, Crystal. I was not able to attend and felt really bad that I could not be there to support the Alleman family. The pictures are priceless.
