right...actually the gist of the whole artilcle is how a Sergent that is reponsible for the coordination of the notification of kin has gone far beyond protocol in his handling of the families, the pic is related to the notification of a young pregnant wife, she was so distraught that she wanted to spend one more night with him before he was buried. The Marines pictured volunteered to stay and rotated post all night until the ceromony in the morning. That is what we are about! That is what makes us different! That is what put me in a foxhole 15 years ago! The full faith that my brothers in arms would understand what is the right thing to do. That is why this article got to me so much...it is easy to say the right thing, but few people do the right thing.
