Friday 3rd June: The body of Staff Sgt. Ergin V. Osman arrived at Bishop International Airport this morning. His casket was taken from the plane by uniformed soldiers and placed in a hearse.
Before departing the airport under police escort, SSgt. Osman's mother walked to the casket with an imam and said prayers.
35yo SSgt. Osman was on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan when he was killed on 26th May in an insurgent attack in Kandahar province, Afghanistan.
His funeral is Sunday 5th June at Holly's Great Lakes National Cemetery.
I believe Sgt. Osman would've celebrated his birthday Aug. 2. Can anyone confirm?
