When my husband (Floyd Stormer CWO 4) when he was alive he said "I want a burial with the Coast Guard ceremony. Rex, his son came down to FL where I was living and drove me up to Salsbury NC. He is buried with his ship mates. The CG came up and gave me his flag. I took it back to FL I drove home back to San Pedro CA. I was brain dead. Rex was brain dead, Eventually I gave Floyds flag to his son. He died in 1999 I miss him to this day. I never got remarried I live in San Pedro CA
