Brian, two guys rode up, one we've seen before with us, who knew Mr. Watson.  Mr. Watson worked for the other rider.  I pulled them aside and asked what they knew about his military and they essentially repeated what his wife told me and I told you.  They also added that there was more info but I told them I also had more info but we did not discuss what you and I did.  Like us, they were there for the wife and kids.  We did not render honors nor did I present a plaque. I did explain to the riders after the interment why there was no honor guard or flag due to the lost paperwork.  The funeral rep confirmed they could not find evidence either. 

Side note: Mark and Mary showed up today.  It was good to see them.  Mark looks horrible but they tell me he never had cancer to begin with, even though VA treated him for a year with chemo!  He still has other issues and a lawyer is not involved.
