It seems a homeless veteran had passed away and the funeral director needed someone to play an instrument at the interment. He finally found a guy who played the accordion and the accordion player agreed to do it. On the day drove off into the country to find the cemetery, but not having been there before he became lost and drove around for 45 minutes or so looking for the funeral. Coming around a hill he finally spotted the gathering on a hillside, with only the workers there, who were getting ready to fill in the hole.
He drove up, apologized for being late and got out his accordion. Standing next to the grave he began to play Amazing Grace. As he played he thought about the veteran who had served his country and how he was forgotten by everyone. He started to cry as he played and he put his heart into playing, working through several different keys as he honored the departed.
He finished playing and was walking back to his car when he heard one of the workers say, "I will be dipped! I have been putting in septic tanks for 20 years and I never saw anything like this!"
