More on Captain Clinton Musil, the Vietnam-era MIA who will be buried tomorrow at Arlington.
The family is celebrating. They've spent decades in limbo and now their guy is finally home. God bless all the other MIA families who are still waiting. What a tough row to hoe.
Larry Musil said his wife asked him what she should wear to the funeral. "Nothing dark," he said, but something "bright and colorful."
After all, he explained, "This is a celebration to say we finally get to have a burial."
I'm glad they're having it this weekend. The Old Guard will have the whole place looking beautiful for Memorial Day.
