It's a moment that will live with you forever and a reminder of what Memorial Day is truly about.
"Thinking about that sacrifice and thinking about his family and the pain that they have felt through all these years," said Jenny Ebert.
Eber was at the Field of Flags to honor her uncle, Private First Class Robert Stephen Lutz.
"A few months after he arrived in Vietnam, he was tragically killed during an ambush as he was trying to aid some of the injured Marines," she said.

Lutz, an Oconomowoc native, is among the more than 27,000 Wisconsinites who made the ultimate sacrifice.
"I always knew how important he was, his family and the deep loss that the family experienced following his death, but they were always so proud of him," said Ebert.
While Ebert said she never got to meet her Uncle Bob, after more than 55 years, she carries his memory with her.
"He loved sports. He was a star wrestler with Oconomowoc High School. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, just hanging out with friends," she said.

Miss Manners: Let woman you're escorting up a staircase first?
Dear Miss Manners: Too often for my comfort, I find myself at the bottom of a staircase, escorting a woman upstairs. My instinct is to let the woman go first, but the unfortunate result is that when I follow her up the stairs, my eyes are at the level of her bottom.
