[QUOTE="Big Babooba, post: 518722, member: 5402"] [B][COLOR=DarkRed]I personally knew two servicemen who were escorted home in such a manner. The first was my wife's cousin, a CPO in the Navy. He died on Christmas Eve. Every Christmas Eve we had a big family get together. He always called to wish his mother to wish her a Merry Christmas. That night, no call came. The other was a brother of a good friend of mine. He was a Lance Corporal in the Marines. He was killed in the Beirut bombing. A few weeks after his funeral I was working preload and loading a set of cars. Three boxes containing his personal effects came down the belt. I treated those boxes like they were sacred as I loaded them. Then I wiped the tears from my eyes, as I am doing right now. [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
