Memorials 2017

Memorial Day in the United States is set aside to honor and remember those men and women who gave their lives in service to their country.

So here are a few of these people:

Navy SEAL Kyle Millikin (38) was killed in Somalia this month while fighting the terrorist group al-Shabaab. His wife and two children are at home in Connecticut.

Army 1st Lt. Weston Lee (25) was killed in Mosul, Iraq, in April.

Army Staff Sgt. Mark de Alencar (37), Sgt. Joshua Rodgers (22), and Sgt. Cameron Thomas (23) were killed in Afghanistan during the last six months.

Somebody had to deliver the terrible news to their loved ones. Here is the story of one who carried out that assignment during the Vietnam war.
