| Yes we do pay a lot of respect to the fallen when they make the ultimate sacrifice. I remember whenever I had to fly a fallen soldier to the main air hub for his final trip home (which unfortunatly was almost every night when I was in Iraq) his or her whole unit would come out to the aircraft and pay there respects and salute the aircraft as we took off. The chaplin of the unit would unit would be on the aircraft with us and would be paying the last respects to the solder. It was always a very sollom moment when we did this 'Hero' missions as we called them by code. Most of the time unfortunatly they were only in Body Bags and they would placed in the casket at another time but it really hit home when you had the casket draped in the American Flag.
