Shawn Thomas was a Green Beret who loved serving his country. He had been deployed eight times during his career in the military and passed away in a car accident on his last deployment. Shawn earned two Bronze Stars and four Good Conduct Medals throughout his long service. He was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.
After that news, his body was brought to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, USA and covered with the national flag – a sacred ritual for military soldiers who unfortunately died while participating in the war. His wife Tara showed up to pick up her husband’s body. This woman could not hold back her tears, she bowed her head next to her husband’s coffin in infinite pity.

Swaying in sadness, she bent over her husband’s coffin and sobbed, her shoulders shaking. The couple has four children.
