The dread and horror of the official uniformed visit to the family of a fallen soldier. I was aware of this when I was very young. My father served several tours in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and Thailand. Fortunately, we never got that visit. But its possibility hangs over every military family. One of my friends lost her father in the military and probably did have such a visit. So many today have as well.
Anyway, I was looking to hear something new from Linkin Park, but came across this while doing so. And I must admit, it made me cry. My father and I have not spoken in over nineteen years. But the fear of losing him as a child is still very much in my psyche.
