Prayers for PFC Chance Phelps' family and thanks to LtCol Strobl for his beautifully written story of a Marine's return home.

It seems like forever ago, but was just November I had to send one of my guys to Kuwait as an escort.

The USAF was really something. They emptied a C5 to take the body and escort immediately instead of making them wait for a later, smaller flight. They showed diginty as respect the whole way. And they never even knew the dead civilian who worked indirectly for them.
