When Joni Resilard got word that a team of military officials would be briefing her on the results of a new probe into the aircraft collision that killed her son and five other Marines off the coast of Japan in 2018, she steeled herself for more heartache.
Resilard, like the other families who lost loved ones in the early morning mishap over the Pacific, has been haunted by the details of her son's death. She takes medication for post-traumatic stress, plagued by thoughts of the roughly 10 hours Capt. Jahmar Resilard spent alone in the 68-degree water after he and his weapons officer ejected from their aircraft when it slammed into another plane.
She even turned down her shower to its lowest setting recently, she said, to try picturing what her son might have felt in those final hours before his heart stopped.
