Chapter 165: The Sorrow of the Big Man

Some people say: Where there are people, there is a class, and there is a distinction between high and low.

But there is one exception.

That's American-Arlington National Cemetery.

Here, there is no distinction between generals and soldiers, whether you are a famous general or an unknown soldier during your lifetime, those buried in this cemetery have only one identity, that is, heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Here, generals and soldiers are buried side by side, and they are not ranked by seniority because of their status during their lifetime, and they are treated the same, which not only truly fulfills the sentence in the Declaration of Independence, but that all men are created equal. And on the more human side, under each tombstone, it is not only these dead heroes who are buried, but also their wives and children.

Raise your gun .......

Put.......

Bang.......

After the interment ceremony and farewell ceremony, the bodies of Antonio and others were transported from the rotunda of the Capitol to Arlington National Cemetery by 13 converted gun trucks for the final part of the state funeral - the funeral ceremony.

At the end of the three shots, the 13 soldiers solemnly folded the Stars and Stripes covering the coffin into a triangle and solemnly handed it to the families of the martyrs on the side.

The reason why the Star-Spangled Banner is folded into a triangle is because the triangle is the most stable of the geometric figures, stability is essential for a country, and the Stars and Stripes are folded like this to pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for the stability of the country.

Subsequently, CIA Director Robert personally awarded 13 crosses for excellence in intelligence work to Antonio and others, of course, these medals were received by family members.

The CIA is an intelligence agency, but not an army organization, so it has its own independent system of medals and medals, and the Cross for Excellence in Intelligence is the CIA's highest medal of honor, which is mainly for those who volunteer and have extraordinary heroism.

"Mrs. Antonio, we deeply regret the sacrifice of your husband, and for his heroic actions and self-sacrifice, the CIA hereby awards him the Cross for Excellence in Intelligence Service. After saying that, Robert solemnly handed the medal to Lisa Antonio.

Lisa Antonio took the medal and hugged it tightly to her chest, which was an honor that Antonio had exchanged for her life, which she cherished very much.

And after Robert handed over the medal to Lisa Antonio, he said with a sincere face. "Mrs. Antonio, if you encounter any difficulties in your work or life in the future, please feel free to come to us, the CIA is a big family, and we are your family. ”

"Thank you. Lisa Antonio wiped away her tears.

After the ceremony, Robert walked to the 13 coffins, and with the help of his assistants, nailed special CIA badges to the lids of the 13 coffins one by one, so as to indicate the identity of the 13 martyrs.

It was also the first time Arlington National Cemetery had a coffin nailed with a CIA badge pinned to it.

After all the ceremonies were completed and the relatives had said their final goodbyes, the 13 coffins were finally buried in Arlington National Cemetery in a state of mourning.

From now on, Antonio and others will enjoy eternal peace and respect here with other heroes who have sacrificed their lives for their country.

As the whole funeral ceremony ended, the crowd gradually left at the same time, not far from Antonio's cemetery, a young man dressed in black also quietly left the cemetery, this young man was none other than John from New York, today is the day when Antonio is buried in peace, he naturally wants to send Antonio.

But he only watched the whole ceremony from a distance, and did not participate in it, Antonio died because of him, and he really couldn't face Antonio's family.

Out of the cemetery, John got into a Cadillac parked on the side of the road and waiting, and when Dani saw him return, she hurriedly handed him a bottle of bling h2O.

For this kind of mineral water, which is known as Rolls-Royce in water, John feels that its taste is actually no different from other water, at most it is cleaner and richer in minerals, as for its price that day, it is all fried, just like diamonds, without artificial hype, how can women be crazy about it, and how can men pay for it!

Of course, there is a difference between the bling h2O he drinks and the ones sold on the market, the first difference is that it is not so expensive, and the second difference is that the bottle does not have a Swarovski crystal inlaid trademark, for safety, the bling h2O he drank is a simple glass bottle, except for the anti-counterfeiting code and the date of canning, there is nothing else, including the factory logo.

After taking two sips and wiping his mouth, John handed the bling h2O to Dani. "Dani, pay attention to Antonio's family for me, if they encounter any problems, try to help them solve them, and Antonio's son, put him on the inspection list, if he is a person worth cultivating, then cultivate it well. ”

"Okay, boss" Dani knew that this was John's heart to Antonio and wanted to make up for it, so she naturally wouldn't object, and after nodding her head in agreement, she looked at John again and asked. "Boss, do you want to eat something first, and then we're on our way to the airport?"

"No, let's go straight to the airport!" John replied, then closed his eyes, he had just stood in the cold wind for more than an hour, which had consumed a lot of his physical strength, and he needed to rest well.

Dani on the side whispered a few words to the driver, and the Cadillac started and drove slowly towards HSD Dulles International Airport.

Christmas is coming, John is going to London to pick up the little one for Christmas, of course, the main reason is that Mrs. Morgan doesn't want to be alone in the room all day, and wants him to go out for a walk.

Although several days have passed since the piracy incident, John's bad mood has not diluted with the passage of time, but has become more and more serious.

Especially in the dead of night, when the images in the photos kept coming to his mind, he had the idea of escaping from the Morgan family, finding a remote place, living incognito, and living his life. But this thought was only fleeting, because he knew that no matter where he hid, even if it was the end of the earth, the Morgan family would dig him out.

From the day he took the surname Morgan on his back, freedom was the most expensive luxury for him, and this may be the sorrow of the great man! Under the glamorous appearance, the blood flowing was like an unbreakable shackle, which tightly imprisoned him in this family, and could not be freed for the rest of his life.
