Shocked by disrespect

On Saturday, Oct. 9 at 1 p.m., in the Mineral County Military Cemetery in Superior, Montana, I laid my father to rest. He was a WWII Veteran who was wounded on D-Day and also in the Battle of the Bulge. My father was later awarded the Bronze Star. 

During my father’s service, the VFW Honor Guard had just finished their third volley and the bugler was just about to play “Taps,” when someone from the behind the bar below the cemetery or one of the few houses behind the bar, screamed “Enough already, F***!” 

At that moment I was not able run over to the hillside to see who you were, but we all heard you.  You know who you are. You are a coward and have no honor. You should be ashamed of yourself. 

How dare you disrespect someone’s funeral services? As a Marine myself you have disrespected all members of the military.
