Throughout the year, notices from Air Force Mortuary Affairs land in our in-box, reminding us of how much appreciation we owe to the men and women who die while serving in the armed forces as well as to their families and friends who have suffered their loss.
Only if the families grant permission for the media to cover their loved one’s return does the Air Force notify the media — this compendium of the notices that have reached us since Memorial Day 2015 is therefore not a complete list of the men and women who have died in uniform over the last year.
