Arrival

A group of marines are climbing into the cargo hold of the plane to drape a flag over the casket of 2nd Lt. James Cathey as the plane arrived at the Reno Airport, the family gathered on the tarmac while the passengers sat there and watched.

Last year at the Denver International Airport there was another arrival of a Marine's casket. Major Steve Beck commented on this scene as being very moving. He pointed towards the people in the plane and wondered what was going through their minds when the Marines brought the casket out of the plane. They were on the same plane that took James Cathey home. This will probably be an everlasting memory and story for their children that they were on this plane. And it should.
