Memorial Day – Spooky 21 crew finally “home”

My husband read aloud these three installments each day as they came out in the paper which speaks to so many things:  How irreplaceable an individual life is.  That we must NEVER forget those who died to protect others.  And how incredible it is that there are people who spend their every working moment to bring our warriors home.

Part Two:  Lack of answers tests the faith and mettle of families and searchers alike

Part Three:  After decades of searching, could a handful of debris provide the answer?

An incredible story for which we owe thanks to -
