thank-you for sharing this , luckily my friends who have had thier children (boys & girls) over there , they have all made it home. it;s just sad... god bless every one of these (our) kids. and what makes me the proudest is their all "enlisted". no runaways that i have heard of , in these wars !.
 
Damn, that was a 3 hanky read. My son attended the loading of number of fellow Marines onto planes back to the states while in A'stan and Iraq. One thing that alway impressed him was
the gathering of troops from every allied nation involved, no matter the nationality of the fallen warrior.

He has also helped deliver the sad news to families in the states.

I can't think a harder task or a higher honor than helping the families through the ordeal of a lost service member.

Thanks for posting. That link is getting a lot of mileage today.

I read that about 15 minutes after it was posted this morning Caj, and I still cannot come up with words to express my feelings. Thanks for posting and making us aware and most of all thanks to all who are serving or have ever served.

Thank you.

Everyone who has not seen it should go out and rent or buy this DVD. Probably the best work of Kevin Bacon, it is a great movie and I am a tough movie critic.

The DVD or Movie "Taking Chance" has made hardened Marines and old Soldiers cry. It is a very tastfully, very respectfully story of a fallen hero going home.

I learned a lesson a long time ago from a Old Coast Guard Warrent Officer 4. He said, "There are only two times when a soldier can cry. Extreme Sadness and Extreme Pride!" Life has taught me that he was a very wise man.
 
That was not an easy read. I had to go hunt up the kleenex. Thanks for posting that link.
 
I hope we never lose sight of the sacrifices that are made by our military and their families everyday. Some of the sacrifices are extreme to say the least.
My uncle was charged with notifying the next of kin while he was in the military. He said it was very draining emotionally and he was proud that he could be of some comfort to the families involved.
God bless our troops.

Same here.I had to drive with some very red eyes.

Thanks Caj. I sent emails to my buddies.I'll bet they had to recompose before forwarding them.
 
One friend wrote me back and said "Its a good story but it looks like photo shop."

I'll think on it because it kinda does look off but it doesn't matter.

Don't kill me guys.
