The following quotation was found on Rob's laptop computer when it was returned to us from Iraq, about a month after Rob's funeral. We were so astonished by the message, we had it inscribed on his Tombstone. He was buried in his hometown of Emmitsburg Maryland with full military honors. Within thirty feet of his final resting place stands an old oak tree, and within two hundred yards lies the creek he used to play in as a child. "Bury me beneath that old oak tree, Down by the creek I used to play in as a child. And you will see. When you hear the bugle play, It plays for me. And my soul will carry on." |
