Sequel to: The last detail.

"Last Flag Flying, set thirty-four years after the events of The Last Detail, brings together the same beloved characters, Billy Bad-Ass Buddusky, Mule Mulhall, and Meadows, to reprise the same journey but under very different circumstances. Now middle-aged, Meadows seeks out his former captors in their civilian lives to help him bury his son, a Marine killed in Iraq, in Arlington National Cemetery. When he learns that the authorities have told him a lie about the circumstances of his son's death, he decides, with the help of the two others, to transport him home to Portsmouth. And so begins the journey, centered around a solemn mission but, as in the first book, a protest against injustice and celebration of life too, at once irreverent, funny, profane, and deeply moving."--From publisher.
