Here it is, Wednesday, and only a week after the last repatriation. Except for a moment of silence I couldn't break away from work last week, but today, managing to get some time off I paid my respects in person. As I walked around and looked at all the various types of people, military, civilian, civil servants, media, and any that I may have missed, I was stopped by a young lady (in her retirement years). she asked me to pass along a message "Thank you for what you do, I think it's great what you do". I admit, I felt warm inside as we parted, but later I thought, I should have corrected her, it should have been me thanking her! We as military persons, or spouses and friends of military persons, we have close ties to the repatriations. But what about her, civilian and elderly. The effort on her part, and all like her, is extraordinary! For every one's effort, going to repatriations or just keeping our heroes in your thoughts as you work, for this I would like to thank each and everyone of you.
