Although this event certainly rendered due honors and celebrated the life of my Uncle Stan, the event was far deeper than this - ie, it honored the God-given principles that the City of Las Vegas and my Uncle stood stood for.
I was deeply moved by each phase of the this celebrative event. Thank you Las Vegas, Nevada!
The price of a single shotgun slug = $1.40
The price of a City's value for Principles of Safety & Civility = Priceless!
Keep it Civil, Keep it Safe, Keep it American!
