My hopes and prayers that Uncle Billy is brought home.
You told me that you don’t think I understand. Why would you say that? Are you trying to insult me or impress me with your knowlege of the Navy? I thought this was a friendly ping list. As an MIA family member I merely added a bit of personal story about my Father’s brother. Since I’m on the NavAir ping list, it would be somewhat logical to assume that I might have even the faintest of clues about Navy MIAs and those big oceans. Was around the Navy for 22 years +. And I personally know how hard it is to ID flight crew after a crash on land.
As a former PAO employee I also have a clue that there is a difference between “brothers in arms” and a brother who is a sibling. I have spoken English all my life. So please - don’t tell me that I don’t understand what it is like to be a member of an MIA family. If this is the way that the NavAir ping list reacts to a friendly comment by a MIA family member, please remove me from the list.
