"the tears are not just for one man."
Understood, and I don't blame him for the tears. I just don't think these details should be widely shared.
Might I be wrong? Sure. But to respond to my unorthodox opinion with vicious personal insults, as some have, makes FReep look awful.
Whoa! Hope you didn't mean me ...........
I'll just say this.... I once had the honor(duty) a escorting a deceased Sailor's remains back to his family. Meeting the family as the command representative was the most difficult, gut wrenching, emotionally draining task I've undertaken in my life. I cannot imagine how difficult it is for the President to meet with hundreds of these families.
He doesn't have to do this...he does it voluntarily, privately and rarely talks about it. I applaud him.
