The body of Lt. Col Jesse Coleman was his way to his own funeral service when the driver and his passenger, a licensed funeral director, decided it was a good time to pull over at the nearest Dunkin Donuts for a freakin coffee break. According to amateur video shot at the scene, it shows both men exit the vehicle and leave the flag draped casket unattended for an undetermined amount of time to go inside and get coffee.

Really?!? This shit wouldn't fly with a regular Joe much less a Veteran of our United States Armed Forces.

Veterans Funeral Care President Jim Rudolph said in a statement, “What could they have been thinking?... It's a rule, it's understood when a car is heading to a service, if there's more than two people in it, then it doesn't pull over."

As a result, both employees have been let go.

A letter was released and can be read below:
