and the man in the suit is a chaplain from the interfaith chapel and came in on his own time to assist and comfort and console this Marine escort. I sir have never had the honor of service but it was because I was injured in High School and could not pass the medical exam. This is my way of serving by taking care of those who do serve, over the last 5 years I have cared for and transferred over 1100 fallen heroes,

Really really he gave all and they sent him home on some forklift pallets and shrinkwrap that is extremely said there was nobody else there to welcome him home it brings me to tears each time I watch a was young warrior rest in peace

@klink1983 we do get repats remains, my son was there in 07,09. thanks Brian

[klink1983]

@freightbully It's not there or I missed it, makes sense. I've even seen some videos of US K.I.A. repats done by way of civvy flight. Is that normal, or budget constraints? When was your son there? I was there in 2010 in the Panjwayi.

@klink1983 This Marine did not die in Afghanistan or Iraq he passed away state side and was being returned to his family. I think we showed the utmost respect. I grieve for his family and was honored to care for him during his transfer in ATL. If you read the explanation below you would see the reason for the way he arrived in ATL. I thank you for your service, my son really enjoyed the Canadian Forces he meet in Afghanistan, and Thanks to all who serve

Pretty pathetic that the US gov't won't use a military flight. I am very surprised that they used a civvy plane. That never happens in Canada. Not the Marines fault, its the government. I had 2 friends k.i.a. in Afghanistan and I would be outraged if they were palletized and sent home on a civvy plan like this and treated like cargo vs. a fallen hero. Semper Fi Marine!!!!!!

@jewishleafbleeder DON'T 4get JEWISHleafbleeder the .U.S soldiers helped free u from the Nazis Bitch

@gatekeeper2012 The forklift pallets are to help buffer the casket during the long plane ride, for lack of a better though they are like shock absorbers. The shrink wrap is for the exterior box and has all the necessary labels and documentation that needs to stay with the body firmly attached to the outter box and there WERE people there welcoming him home... this isnt the tranfer of the body to the family.. this is the xfer from the plane to the local mortuary service. Really be considerate.
