On the scene.....

Early this morning, President Obama met a plane carrying the bodies of troops killed in battle.  The video of him saluting the coffin was shown throughout the day on CNN.Of the soldiers carry the casket, the middle soldier (closest to the camera) is Val Howell, the son of my friend and business partner, Jeff Howell. 

Val reports that the President asked the families if he might be filmed receiving the soldiers home.  One family said "yes".  (no word on whether the others said "no", or not)
Although relatively new to the army, Val has been on a number of honor guards across DC. 
Congratulations Val!
