My Take
Scott Speicher's story stops me cold every time. Shot down over Iraq in 1991, he became the first American combat death of the Gulf War, and his family endured eighteen years of uncertainty before his remains were finally found in 2009. A Florida State graduate and naval aviator honored with the Purple Heart, he deserves more than the word hero. What moves me is the simple, unbearable fact of a young man who never came home. I think remembering him plainly is the most honest tribute we can offer.
