My relative is a Marine, and it was his battalion that suffered the losses.

He is not in Afghanistan as far as we know, but we know very little which is to be expected.

Send not to ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.



Edit: I am told by his mother that he is confirmed to be not in Afghanistan.

And two people in dress uniform get out.

I'm sure Biden will personally visit with each family if they want him to.
