• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

If you have not seen this film, please take the time to do so. It is free on Amazon Prime. It portrays the dignity with which our fallen are treated on their journey home. God Bless them all. Here is a trailer. Semper Fi, Marine.

 
I was on a flight one time where a fallen one from the ME conflict was being taken home. IIRC he was loaded into the cargo bay after all the passengers were on board and then the escort serviceman boarded. At the destination the escort was deplaned first and everyone stayed on board until the body had been removed from the plane. Very dignified and respectful. Wish I could remember it more clearly.

That is the normal process. The aircraft captain usually makes an announcement after the plane lands to prevent the normal exit crush. In my experience every passenger has been very respectful.
