As the doors of the hearse opened, revealing the flag-draped casket, a warm August wind caused the American flags at Florida National Cemetery to stand at attention.
A bagpiper heralded the arrival with Amazing Grace, and military pallbearers wheeled Army Spc. Justin Dean Coleman's casket along the crushed seashell sidewalk, the family trailing behind.
More than 200 mourners placed hands to hearts or stiff salutes to sweaty brows.
A prayer. Three volleys. Taps. And a folded flag for Spc. Coleman's young widow, his mother and his father...........Rest Here
