Does every fallen soldier have a live soldier accompany his/her body home? email this discussion to a friend?

Does this happen? I saw an email about this and I wondered if anyone knows.

It sounds like a great idea but don't know if it does.

I think I read this was going to happen for Aussie fallen soldiers after the big mix up of the wrong body being sent home, I think this is a good idea as they the soldiers have paid the ultimate price they deserve to be treated with respect in the end...

I can't speak for other branches of the service, but I know in the Marine Corps the remains of the deceased is always accompanied by a fellow Marine, usually someone that was close to him. It is an honor to be chosen as escort and to represent the Marine Corps to the family.

Yes. Once they leave Dover AFB for the final flight home, a military person is assigned to accompany the body back and stay with it until the funeral. There is a special detail stationed out of Dover to do this duty.

I think it would be nice if the soldier that accompanied the fallen soldier home would be released from further duty as a tribute to the fallen soldier.
