With Veterans Day coming up, I recalled the most memorable moment - TopicsExpress



          

With Veterans Day coming up, I recalled the most memorable moment in my service was. I was on a C-141 on my way back from Europe and everyone was up-beet in anticipation of returning home. Joking with the customs officer about the sandwich I had with me from Germany. Upon leaving the plain I noticed a commotion across the tarmac. When I realized the reporters and their camera flashes where watching coffins being removed the plain next to ours. I stood at attention and my fellow travelers followed suit and formed up in formation. Someone yelled “Present arms” and we all snapped in solute. I lost count of how many coffins came off that plain and how long we stood at attention. I remember thinking I made it back and they paid the ultimate price. This was March or April of 1972.
