WASHINGTON -- For Gen. Mark Milley, the Pentagon ceremony Wednesday was personal.
Twenty years ago, Milley stood on an airfield in Hawaii to see home the bodies of Army Lt. Cols. Ronnie Cory and George Martin, two men he had served with who died on a mission to help bring home the remains of fallen service members from the Vietnam War.
“The progress they achieved down to the very last action, their very last breath to fulfill the sacred promise of never leaving a fallen comrade behind is unbelievably humbling to all of us that are still alive,†the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said during the ceremony.
