Default Bringing Him Home

When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport, Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather outside the plane.
During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport, Major Steve Beck described the scene as one of the most powerful in the process: "See the people in the windows? They'll sit right there in the plane, watching the Marine escort out on the tarmac. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, realizing that they're on the plane that brought him home," he said. "They're going to remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should."

RIP LT CATHY, the people on the plane just might see what the price of freedom is.

That is a real reality check right there. My respects to his family and friend. May he rest in peace.
