Navy Captain Michael "Scott" Speicher's remains are at this very moment being offloaded from a chartered plane at NAS Jax.
Welcome home, Scott.
Watching this has me in tears.

2. I didn't know that he was the first American casualty of the first Gulf War. |

On the very first day no less.
My first duty station was NAS Cecil Field. It was his last.
Heavy sigh.

And a bit of a shame that the news couldn't at least mention the thousands who have never come home from our wars. I'm glad they his remains have been returned.
