The renown anthropologist Margaret Meade said “… anything that really matters to us, anything that embodies our deepest commitment to the way human life should be lived and cared for, depends on … some form of volunteerism.” From Owatonna, Minnesota, the image, Owatonna Funeral Squad was originally uploaded by barneykin.

I appreciated Pat Postlewaite’s look at the faithful vets who form the military funeral squad. When my grandfather, a WWII veteran, was buried in Florida, the honor guard made the funeral truly memorable. I appreciated their respect of a man they never knew–though they knew he was one of them. Could I possible get the date this article was published and in what newspaper or journal so that I can use it in my classes? Thank you!
