At the Biloxi, Mississippi National Cemetery today. They had the second year laying of the wreath for soldiers. The families laid 4,700 wreaths today and they said they still needed more. You give a donation for the wreath. My favorite brother died 24 years ago. He was a good brother. At night he lived 8 miles away and he would ride by my house to check everything out while I was asleep. He loved flags and wanted everybody to fly one at their house and he would check daily to see your flag flying. If you come to my house today, you will see all kinds of American flags. It is ironic that he died June 14, 1991 at the age of 47 on flag day June 14. He was a Vietnam Veteran, but did not die in Vietnam. They had a wonderful program also at the wreath laying. I could not go back to cemetery after the funeral 24 years ago. It took me 24 years to go back and see my favorite brother. I stayed with him at the cemetery for about 2 hours by myself. I have 11 other sisters and brothers. He and an infant sister are deceased. I have 6 sisters and 5 brothers living. I am from a big family. All of my aunts, uncles have 10 to 18 children. 18 in one family. We all go by numbers I am number 4 out of our 13.
