Since I started my tour here, these are the names of the fallen servicemembers that have passed through Dover Air Force Base mortuary. Each has a life story, which impacted the lives of many throughout this earth. I have met many of their family members and friends, including children, and walked with them to witness the Dignified Transfer. Some held me and some I held closely to let them know that they weren't alone in their grief and loss.
In most cases, the very next day, I walked many of the servicemembers, named below, through the mortuary preparations that would see them toward their final trip home. It was a distinct honor to serve with them, but also to serve them.
Please pray for these fallen and their loved ones. They lived, served and gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect life as we all know it today.
