The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the Rev. James P. Callahan said Saturday during the funeral that Kisseloff "gave his life for our nation because he believed in this nation and he believed in the people of America."
Afterward, scores of people came to pay their respects as his body made its way to the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
