we went through this in 1966, brother in law killed in Vietnam, I was in Philippines at USNAS Cubi Point. Navy sent me home, I didn't want to come, argued with Navy Chaplin to no avail. very hard to go through this, knew it was going to kill my sister,which it eventually did. salute to my brother in law, Sargent Arvin Pennel, 27th wolfhounds.... you still missed... along with her😥😥

I don't think that after waiting 8 long days for to Marines to ship my 24-year-old daughter's body home with her flag-draped coffin coming out of the belly of that plane certainly wasn't fake nor a dream, It's life-changing pain that half your heart is gone and nothing will ever replace it. We learn to keep on marching to cope and live with it. Because there is no closure.

That has to be one of hardest jobs in the Milatry. Knocking on a door and having to tell the person. That their loved ones will never be home to hold you in their arms ever again. While keeping your Milatry Bearing.
