On Thanksgiving day just after we finished dinner we got a call from my Aunt Susan that Grandpa Brandt had passed away. His funeral was in California, and he was buried in Billings Montana.
His 21 gun salute and taps
Presentation of the flag and 3 bullets to my Grandmother (From what I remember; the three bullets represent the 3 shots fired (by seven people) and stand for the three values of the Navy; Honor, Courage, and Commitment.)
I’m sad Aiden never got to meet his great-grandfather.
My favorite memory of Grandpa was when we went to the beach he wore a shirt that read “This isn’t a beer belly it is a gas tank for my sex machine” I was 7 I think 🙂
Great pictures Kel. You can see the Bullets in the air!! What a great post on Grandpa. I wish I knew what the three bullets symbolized.
Kelly what do the three bullets signify?
