Welcome Home Capt. Speicher.

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.

4. It is very sad.
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.
