Fallen Comrade Salute

We attended a Fallen Comrade Salute earlier today. They were bringing two fallen soldiers coffins in through the streets of the base. All available personnel are requested to line the street on both sides, and salute as they drive by.

We stood with the MWR unit who are hosting us. Seeing a busy street lined with hundreds of soldiers saluting the fallen is a really somber experience. It gives a real sense of what our soldiers are sacrificing in order to keep America safe from terrorists.
