Great article/letter. Thanks for sharing. The link to the Stars and Stripes article on the Mortuary Affairs unit provided in the letter had a statement that pretty much summed up the whole situation.

“We know what we do is important,” said Staff Sgt. Charles Ellis, 48, of Brookhaven, Miss., who leads the company’s two teams of mortuary affairs specialists. “We also know that what we do isn’t about us. There’s something wrong if there’s attention on us.”
