Simply put "semper gumby", but well worth it.  First of all, the family was already at the Church when we arrived (we were expecting them around 1:30) and one of Mr. Hudson's son's (Michael) greeted me and was very appreciative of our presence. He introduced me to his family and I presented the certificate to Mrs. Hudson. That was when I was asked to present the flag.  Although I had never done that before and was not expecting to do it, I was very honored and very nervous.  We had planned to break down the flag line when the service started, but the family wanted to walk through the flag line after the service and the minister wanted me to present the flag at the end of the service, so we went inside with our flags and stood the flag line during the service. As the family and friends left the church through our flag line, the fire department was lined up with all of their red lights flashing (Mr. Hudson was also a fire fighter). It was a moving sight and a very nice way to end the service. We took down the static flags, the flags we held and returned them to the truck to furl and put away and then were dismissed.
