I hope someone tells them not to use black rifles.

The Marine firing party uses M1's. I'm sure the Major would be pleased.Originally Posted by PhillipM

On mine as well. As the date gets closer, maybe those of us who will attend can coordinate getting together- either the evening before or after- to drink a toast to the Major.

For those who will be attending the services for the Major in Arlington, who may be staying in the area, the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Regiment will be performing their "Twilight Tattoo" at 1900 on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. For more information: http://twilight.mdw.army.mil/ .
While I would much rather meet those of you who will be attending under better, more happy circumstances, I look forward to standing with you to bid farewell to someone I never had the privilege of meeting in person, but none-the-less respected and admired. His loss isn't felt only here on these boards, but across the nation in the firearms collecting, marksmanship, and military communities. It speaks volumes about the mans character that in all of the 50 U.S. states and 9 territories, and in many nations around the globe, he is missed. I'm sure that some countries are happy that he is gone and that also speaks to his character- those countries probably breathed a sigh of relief because they feared the man (for good reason). Major Culver can never be copied, but nobody would be worse for it if they tried.

Wish I could be there in person. All my prayers to Gloria and a fairwell to the Major, you are missed.

Can't make it can somebody film it on a phone and upload
It's my wife's birthday and I can't make it down on the 28th. I don't know if this is in poor taste, but could someone film the ceremony on an Iphone or such and upload it to site. I'd like to see the Major's "send-off" even though I can't be there to participate.
