If you have never seen a fallen serviceman being returned home, tended by a lone member of our military, it is something you should try to do. Not for the spectacle, but for the powerful reminder of just how much the military mourns the loss of one of our own.
We can never repay the fallen for their sacrifice, that debt is too great for any nation. But we can remember them. They died for their country, for their brothers-in-arms, for their family back home, and for millions of others who never knew him, but should always gratefully remember what he did for them.
May I humbly offer a long, slow, salute to those who came home for the final time to rest from war.
