We met at the airport and proceeded, with the family, through security and then on to the arrival gate for Jarod's flight. Upon aircraft arrival we, along with VMERG, the USO, and representatives of Jarod's company, formed up on both sides of the doorway from the jet bridge into the terminal and made a pathway to the awaiting carts for the family. Honors were rendered as Jarod's cremains were carried out by Jarod's parents. We then departed the gate area with the family and were dismissed. I wish to thank the riders who attended after a long day of missions for their professionalism. I cannot thank VMERG and American Airlines enough for making this mission a reality. I also wish to thank our friends at the USO, the airport Chaplain, Fluor Corporation, and anyone else in attendance for their help in showing honors to this Hero.
