Description
A black and white photo from Ysmael Villegas' Funeral Procession photograph depicting morning family members and soldiers paying their respects to the fallen WWII hero as he is prepared and transported for burial. Soldiers are lined up on either side of the casket, which is draped with an American flag. A man wearing military uniform, presumably a military leader, speaking at the funeral while standing next to the priest. The military leader speaking is holding his military cap in his hands, assumably taking it off while giving a eulogy as a sign of respect.
