Like my 89-year-old grandfather who was a World war II veteran, the military paid for his funeral. His death had absolutely nothing to do with military service. He died of old age, decades after World war II.

I wonder if I could talk them into giving me the funeral money and just throwing me in a ditch instead.

my grandfather was a wwii veteran, and they took pretty good care of him.

his brother was also a wwii veteran and spent the rest of his life drinking away the horrors he'd seen and scream-sobbing any time there was a thunderstorm.
