Donald and I attended the funeral and military graveside services for Staff Sergeant David Gutierrez in Gilroy today. Several American flags were presented to the family members, including one to each of his 3 sons. The youngest son is holding his flag (with his grandma) while the member of the Honor Guard continues the ceremony and prepares to present the next flag. The boys were wearing Hawaiian shirts to commemorate the 5 years the family spent in Hawaii stationed at Schofield Barracks with the 25th Infantry Division. David's wife and other family members were also wearing leis during the service, and friends of David's wife wore flowers in their hair in the Hawaiian style. (note: the woman next to Grandma is not David's wife--I think perhaps it's his sister)
