So I woke up this morning thinking everythings just fine, I dont have a morning breifing, I can go to church. So I got ready and I went to church. It was good, and I got a song stuck in my head, its been there all day, "Come Thou Fount".
Well I got back to the PAO shop and everyones a little on edge, as you may know because its been all over the news three more american troops died today.
I had the Honor to go to the ceremony as they get on the plane to return to the states. This is where it gets hard to explain. As I stood and photographey the whole thing happen I began to hum the song again. As they past me and started walking up into the C-17 I stopped and seluted those brave men.
As i was leaving i looked back at that C-17 fully light on the inside and three flags inside with thier friends and team mates slowly seluting and then kneeling to say their final good byes, its sad but yet noble and touching. Its hard to tell the way it is not even a photo could do it justice, I know this wont be the last but i dont imagine it gets easier.
