 I'm the 9th to Mike Mortuary Affairs and essentially our mission is to recover the fallen heroes that we have lost and as well as anybody who has any military affiliation and ultimately bring comfort to the friends and family and bring them back home. So the process of from initial notification of the fallen to transfer to the mortuary it would be first the mortuary director Ms. Garvitch receives notification from CID that there is a fallen soldier or airman or Marine sailor whoever they may be and that even includes active duty dependents, civilians, GS employees, contractors so the way it happens is she gets the notification and then from there she passes the information to us and we then get ready we come here to the mortuary and then when CID gives us the go-ahead to recover the remains on site we then go to the site to the recovery site and we collect the human remains and any personal effects that will be on him or her and then we transport the human remains back here to the mortuary and inventory, any personal belongings, clothing items, cell phone, cash, anything that can help to provide a positive identification and we keep the remains here in-house we have the refrigerated cold storage. We have two herces we have an escalate and then we have like a traditional hearse whenever we go on recoveries we tend to use the escalate because it's four-wheel drive it really depends you know with deaths we really have no predictability on when someone's gonna die or you know if it falls within our jurisdiction but mortuary affairs I believe is one of the oldest jobs in the military you know that being there's always people dying especially in the military you know when there's war we have to be there to go and collect those remains and bring them back to their family members I just think you know it's important for their family to at least say goodbye
