Week ending Jul. 10, 2010 the US Department of Defense released the names of 18 military personnel who died, while serving in the United States armed forces. The DoD also announced the return of one MIA from WWI. This episode is dedicated to Rex Castillo (Jerry Castillo's father) and Greg Missman who died one year ago.
