I was at Monsoor's funeral. The hurse drove to the final resting spot and behind it followed his family, his platoon mates, then Teammates and finally the rest of the group. His casket was brought out by his platoon mates&sat above the grave. The Team guys removed their Tridents and one by one, walked by and pounded them into the casket. His brother then pulled a handful of his long hair and placed it on the casket.
