This is a picture of PFC Dalton Welsh (24th Marines), United States Marine Corps, presenting the U.S. Flag at his grandfather’s (Lonnie Welsh) funeral to his great grandfather (Homer Welsh), a World War II veteran of the U.S. Army. PFC Welsh’s grandfather, a Vietnam era veteran of the U.S. Army, passed away unexpectedly on December 12, 2011.
There was a mix-up in getting the U.S. Army Honor Guard to the cemetery, and PFC Welsh stepped up and offered to do the flag presentation at the last minute. Having never done anything like this before, PFC Welsh was instructed on what to say and do, and he did it without missing a beat or blinking an eye.
