Eulogy read by son, Rodger Lippman at his funeral. Current active US Marines were on site and conducted a tribute.
I will never forget the feeling that I felt upon receiving the ceremonial folded US Flag from the Marines on duty. I truly felt my dad's appreciation inside me when the soldier thanked me for his time served. I proudly hang that flag in a customized case celebrating his service as an original WW2 Marine Raider and Devil Dog.
