To the family of Pvt. Corey L. Hicks,
It is with great saddness that I read about Corey making the ultimate sacrifice for all of us; to keep us safe from harm. I will be standing by in Surprise and prepare to honor him and his family on his final journey.

***Flight Delay***
***Flight Delay***
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Pvt Hicks in this most difficult time. I am not the pilot bringing him home but for another flight out to CA today but both the flights leaving Dover are delayed this morning due to high winds and driving rain. My deepest apologies go out to the family for this delay but it is not safe to operate the aircraft in the current conditions. Right now we are at about a 4 hour delay until the weather is supposed to improve. I'll do my best to advise via this forum but watch the flight track on this site to see when the flight leaves.... http://flightaware.com/live/flight/KFS4499
Thank you,
TB

| To the family of Pvt. Hicks; I rode for your son yesterday and today and I wish to thank you for inviting us. I could not help but shed a few tears for your son today as I rode to the cemetary and saw people coming out of their houses to salute your son. We truly are the most blessed country in the world to have brave men such as your son standing tall for those who cannot stand for themselves!
