It was a sad occasion as Sgt. Maj. Wardell Turner was laid to rest at Arlington Cemetery yesterday.
He was killed along with Ohio native Specialist Joseph Riley by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
His 19 year old son, Devin, looked on quietly dressed in full military garb.
Devin along with four other siblings and his mother Katherine and his grandmother were in attendance for the ceremony on a harsh January day.
The taps were played and three rifle volleys were heard as Wardell was to laid to rest.
