Nathan witnessed something terribly sad and yet beautiful this week on his way to Vancouver. A fallen soldier was finally brought home. Nate watched the procession at the Charlotte airport but didn't know until afterwards just exactly what he had witnessed. This particular soldier was a prisoner of war in the Korean War. He was taken prisoner in 1951 and just this week his remains were finally brought home to North Carolina.
Here is a more detailed article about this brave soldier and his family.
Pfc. Samuel Kelly Watkins
In reading more about this war veteran my heart ached for his family, especially his parents, who so badly wanted to believe that he was in fact alive. I can only hope that they found peace when he met them in heaven and finally ended their search for him.
