2. It seems like every one has gut-wrenching details

"Raymond Clamens, 33, said his wife sent him a text-message Monday, telling him she had made it safely to Baghdad from Talil, where she was with the 1st Postal Platoon, 834th Adjutant General Company, Miami. They were to arrive at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin this weekend. She was expected home in Homestead on Wednesday or Thursday.

He messaged her back "OK" and went back to making preparations for her homecoming, including getting ingredients for her favorite meals."

After that text message he did not hear from her for a period, and then got the news.
