Those families will NOT receive a phone call. They will be personally visited by an Army Chaplain and some other same-branch (Army OR Navy in my wife's case) people that are equipped to assist them in dealing with the loss.

They don't do "the telegram", "the phone call" or even now, "the email". There will be a face-to-face notification. As it should be.




May God bless and comfort those affected.

Casualty Notification Officers....a non-com or officer of equal or higher rank (to the soldier)...all volunteers...a Chaplain will go along...The Army's guidelines call for PNK notification by the CNO within two hours of the Army's internal verification.
