***Flight Delay***
My deepest condolences go out to the family of PFC Ward. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am the pilot bringing him home today, we are on a flight delay due to bad weather here in Dover, we are looking at a minimum 4-5 hour delay. I will do my best to update you via this forum or through Craig as soon as I can for both this one and the Long Beach flight for USMC Cpl Guzman. Thank you all for everything and I am very sorry for the delay.

It shall be an honor to fall in with the PGR to honor CPL Guzman when the flight comes through.
"Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea."
--The Navy Hymn, played at funerals to honor Presidents
(Navy LT John F. Kennedy, Asst. SECNAV Franklin Roosevelt, recently LCDR Gerald R. Ford)--now respectfully offered to honor this shipmate of ours in the Navy-Marine Corps team.
Hopefully it's a comfort to family and friends to see how many "unknown" "strangers" fall in, in cyberspace and (those who are able) in person to render honors.
Also hopefully it's a comfort that this veteran's days were spent among some good friends. An admiral's send-off speech to us once observed: "there are two things of which you can be sure when you go to war: one, you will be changed, you will not be the same again and, two, you will form some of the best friendships of your life."
Soon after 9/11 we Americans got another example of the huge number of our unknown shipmates--when the German ship Lutjens drew alongside our USS Winston Churchill (DDG-81), respectfully flew our flag at half mast and exhibited a sign, "We support you."
"Like ships passing..." you family and friends of this veteran don't know most, or all, of us--but we're here with you.
"Fair winds and following seas," shipmate.
