Marvin Hume, an 89-year-old WWII Navy veteran, raises and lowers US flags that have draped the coffins of American servicemen and women. He does this to honor our fallen soldiers, those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to this country.

Mr Hume, a Navy veteran, has been performing this ceremony on his property for the past 38 years, and does so seven days a week from Memorial Day to mid-October each year. He teaches youngsters how to fold the American flag and treat it with respect.

Marvin Hume is one of the very last of The Greatest Generation, for their numbers are now but a handful after their service in World War II.

A moment on Sunday, if you please, for The Greatest Generation and our US military forces.
