This gallery contains photos taken during the military funeral ceremony at the Quantico National Cemetery and the following family reception and celebration of life at the funeral home that coordinated the service with Quantico.
The service was a very solemn and elegant ceremony with the centerpiece being the American flag that was opened, symbolically draped over Frank's Urn and then carefully refolded for presentation to Jeri following a gun salute and taps.
Three Marines fired three volleys from their rifles to make it a nine gun salute. Taps was played by a Marine bugler following the gun salute and prior to the folding and presentation of the flag by a Marine Major to Frank's widow, Jeri.
The Marines, in their dress blues, and a large crowd of retired Marines, classmates and family members honored Frank's memory by their presence.
Included in the gallery are some images of the very nice post-ceremony reception and celebration of life, held for attendees at the funeral home in Manassas. Here guests had the opportunity to talk with and express their condolences to Jeri and the family.
