Hmmmm. Something happened on this date. Seems like it was kind of a big thing.

I am afraid that our entertainment and isolation and enemies have made us hard-hearted towards the deaths of our military.

I had to go to people’s homes and tell them that their Soldier was dead.

I had to be in charge of funeral details and see families face the death of their Soldier.

I had to help families transition from being a military family.

The pain and grief was almost unbearable.

It made me much more concerned about my Soldiers.

I think that every registered voter should be put in a pool and randomly selected to help notify families, attend military funerals and assist families transitioning from the military.

My late father-in-law was a US Navy Medical Corpsman, stationed at Pearl Harbor ... He described that as a “very busy day”.

Huge respect for you. I’ve worked with a couple of guys who had also assumed that duty for a while.

Thank you for your service and thank you for taking on that very, very difficult task. Not just anybody can do that.
