God bless this family...
..I saw them on Fox the other morning, they were so sweet....the mom is still overtly grieving, bless her..

.. Brian interviewed them (Brian cares for the military)...

I hope Fox will not be the only ones to mention/highlight this brave, courageous man!!

Just so you know, the Navy says that the White House ceremony starts at 2:15 PM. (Place your mouse over the White House graphic under schedule of events.)
