The service will take about 30 minutes. No guests speak during it; it is fine to bring flowers. Following the service, there will be a gathering nearby, lasting from 12pm-3pm. Major Fishback's family will share the location for the gathering at the service. Thank you. /end.

Guards will check your ID at the gate and you will be directed to the parking lot. There will be a large sign with the word "Fishback." Park behind that and wait.

I don’t want socialist utopia and I don’t want this homogenized, sterilized capitalist hellscape I want weird little places and idiosyncratic people all over the place doing their own thing, making growing and building things they think are neat
