My affairs are in order. Will, Insurance to cover mortgage, beneficiaries,etc.

What I've earned :
- I'm entitled to a Military Funeral... gun salute, flag, taps, headstone.

- I've also earned a full Honor Guard while waiting interrment, Full Motorcycle Escort from funeral home to memorial to graveside, due to my current assignment.

- And if its in the line of duty I get the whole shabang...bagpipes, honor guard, flag, horse escort w/ absent rider - boots backwards in the stirrups, military styled procession, and a multi-agency memorial service.

I think the pomp and circumstance of a line of duty death, or a decorated public servant can be daunting emotionally. I'm not sure I want to put people through it, but its standard call of duty stuff. And in a weird way its a cohesive time. Co-workers lay down petty animosities and actually band together.

What I want :
At the end of the day, after all the pomp and circumstance
sprinkle my ashes high on a mountaintop, facing the west so the sunsets can announce another beautiful day is coming to an end.
