body arrived at the Reno Airport , Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the
plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family
gather on the tarmac. During the arrival of another Marine’s casket last
year at Denver International Airport , Major Steve Beck described the scene
as so powerful: ‘See the people in the windows? They sat right there in the
plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what’s going through their
minds, knowing that they’re on the plane that brought him home,’ he said.
‘They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They’re
going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should.’

her husband’s body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to
sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her,
tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her
laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of ‘Cat,’ and one of the
Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. ‘I
think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it,’ she said. ‘I think
that’s what he would have wanted’.

Blue Fridays.
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing
blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be
called the ‘silent majority.’ We are no longer silent, and are voicing our
love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not
organized, boisterous or overbearing.
and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of
America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for
our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday – and continues each
and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message
that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will
wear something blue. By word of mouth, press, TV — let’s make the United
States on every Friday a sea of blue much like a homecoming football game in
the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this
with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long
before the USA is covered in BLUE and it will let our troops know the once
‘silent’ majority is on their side more than ever. The first thing a soldier
says when asked ‘What can we do to make things better for you?’ is: ‘We need
your support and your prayers.’ Let’s get the word out and lead with class
and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.
ON. IF YOU COULDN’T CARE LESS — THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON.
