i'm a member, have been since 2006. whats it like to do a mission? it can really vary. the last all day mission i did was on september 11th 2008, for a marine, husband and new father and though this was no more or less important than any other mission we have done at the request of a family, it was without a doubt the most emotional by far. we escorted him from the airport to the funeral home, from the funeral home to the church then to the cemetary. his parents and widow carrying his baby son who he hadnt seen yet, came out to personally thank all of us for being there,m there wasnt a dry eye in the house among the flag bearers or anyone else for that matter. even now talking about it makes me tear up.
