Makes sense to me--Given that Scott has surviving children, I would certainly think they'd be entitled to the monthly stipend that was reinstated when his status was changed back to MIA regardless of the marital status of Scott's wife/ widow.

Your post was warm, compassionate & obviously heartfelt. Thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts and experience on this very emotional topic.

In September 1996, the Navy looked over everything it knew about Scott Speicher.

The early reports about the fireball. That he might have lost his survival radio. What they found at the crash site. No blood. No bones. No body. A good ejection.
