The Final Salute

Thank you Tony.

I have so many memories of friends, classmates and neighbors that died in Viet Nam. The compassion, honor and respect of the fallen and their families by USMC Major Beck in the performance of his duties as a USMC Casualty Notification Officer are in the highest traditions of the United States Marine Corps and the Naval Service.

I feel where the guy is coming from. I was on the burial detail for 2 yrs and gave the flag to many moms, wives, and daughters. "On behalf of a grateful nation" and such. It never became routine.

You never forget the car pulling up to your house or the knock on the door. Thank you for your service.
 
Whoa. I believe too few Americans fully appreciate the price our soldiers pay for our continuing freedom and comfort. It's just taken for granted. My personal thanks to all who have served. You guys here get it, and the author surely does, and perhaps those who read this do now. I wish there were a way to get this story into all the hearts in our country. You've made a good start, Tony. Thanks.
 
Dave I second all that you just said. As far as getting the story out unfortuantly there are just to many Americans that hate America.

Again my thanks for everything all of you have given to help keep myself and my family safe.
