Need help please, I'm lost

Hi everyone, this is completely foreign to me to come on a public forum and ask for help but for the first time in my life, I don't have the answer so here it goes..
As some of you know, some of you may not but a few years back I lost one of my brothers in a rather quick and unexpected passing. Now there are only 8 of us 9 kids.
He was in the Navy for 30 years and retired as Master Chief on an Aegis Cruiser/Destroyer. After active duty retirement the Government hired him again as a Teacher of Radar because that's what he knew very well.
My Dad was also in the Navy as a Male Ship Nurse in the Korean War.
He passed away at 58 just after my 18th birthday.
They are both in Arlington National Cemetary in Arlington.
My bro was cremated and buried in the ground and my Dad was cremated as well but in a urn in a wall ( Columbarium ).
This month on the 16th will be exactly 30 years since he left us.
Here is the hardest part.
Our little guy was only a few weeks old when we went there for my brothers full military honors funeral.
21 gun salut and all, Evan Scott never even flinched. His middle name Scott was my brothers name.
He will be with us again but this time he will be 2 and a 1/2 and he asks questions like he was 10...
I'm asking for advice on how to explain why his Grandpa and Uncle are in the ground and in a wall...
This is going to absolutely crush Deb and I because I already know its gonna be a tough day to begin with.
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ladies and gents, u guys are all great.
Sincerely, Deb, Evan Scott and Troy.
