I don't know why I get so teary-eyed at someone's funeral, anyone's funeral, even a person I don't know.
But I am especially moved by the somber ceremony for the passing of a president of the United States, and that is as it should be for the highest office in America. Yet, I must think of the huge difference of a president's funeral and that of an infantry private coming home for burial.
Both served their country, and the soldier served as much as one could - he gave his all, his life!
When God looks down on both, he sees not a president or a private, he sees one of his children coming home.
