Wow! Probably shouldn't have read this at work, did not expect it to move me like it did. I like the choice of the airport: a setting for transitions, of some doors closing and others opening. Good description of "building peace" as the military's objective-an ironic concept, yes-leading to a rather bipolar reaction/misunderstanding to the military, how some groups of people hate them because they think violence is the objective. "We understand you're escorting a fallen soldier." Ahhh I should have seen that coming but didn't, whoa! Joe feels disrespectful sitting in first class; survivor's guilt; you described all of this so beautifully that it makes me wonder what your own experiences are with the military. "Promise me"-oh, no, what a tough position for Joe to be in...my father is a minister and I know he feels guilty when people pass away the same night after he visits them...but understandable that Jack knew the state of his body and wanted this last message given. Even despite all this I did not choke up until the ovation Joe accepted on Jack's behalf as he left the plane. A very cool place to start an AU-with Jack's ghost still haunting Joe throughout. What a story!

I can't tell you how much I loved this! It actually made me cry, but I could practically feel the emotions. Which is a good thing! It's good to have you back, Jilsen. )

Absolutely beautiful. I have two uncles who served in WWII, a cousin who served in Vietnam and another cousin who is currently on his fifth (I think... we've lost count) tour of Afghanistan or that general area; he can't tell us exactly where he is. For honoring them, all those who have served, who continue to serve and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice - thank you!

I really enjoy first person POV. It is difficult to write well but you did it superbly. It wouldn't have had the same emotion in third person. I've often thought Joe might join the military, and you did an outstanding job bringing that to life. I think my favorite part was on the plane when everyone clapped as Joe was leaving; I really loved how Joe 'accepted' the accolades for Jack.

What a wonderful story and moving tribute. Thank you for sharing it with us.

This story really choked me up. I really love how you captured Joe's character, and how you described what it's like to serve, and to lose a person that really is like a brother.
