I am very sorry for your loss.
I only recently knew about Melville Lundins life.

I am a very far family relation as Melvilles great-grandfarther was the brother of my great-grandmother.

I would very much like to talk/write with your family if possible.

Best regards
Allan Hallin

Melville Lundin, he was a proud patriot, served in Army & NYCFD. From beginning, to end, the reverence shown from the “Last Salutes” veterans, toward their fellow veteran, being laid to rest….was such a beautiful thing to witness.
And this was pretty short notice….. they made this happen within a 3 day window. Every detail, from Taps beautifully played ( his only request & he got so much more! ) , the cannon blast, his funeral card being put in the prayer box, folding of our flag , was done with such dignity & utmost respect. Really can’t put into words…. The folding of our flag, bought up such deep emotions, done with such dignity & care to every detail. Raising it up toward Heaven….. and the presentation to my niece, was a deeply profound moment, for us all. I’m sure she will have such a beautiful testimony & memory of this day, to be able to pass down to her children.
My family’s utmost gratitude & respect for founder , Sgt Chuck Knutson & his wife, Cpl Jamie Lee Knutson . And anyone involved that I don’t have their name….huge thank you to all that honored my dad’s celebration of life.
May God bless you & your ministry. This was above and beyond anything I could have imagined. My dad would be super happy & honored & proud, how this came to be, he loved our country , so very much.
My families deepest gratitude, for what you do for your fellow veterans.
Thank you
