Found this link on Reddit. I search barred the title, but I didn't look especially hard, so if it's a repost please excuse my waste of bandwidth.
It's a pretty long read and a TL;DR doesn't do it justice, it's worth the time. It's about the people who come to inform you when a loved one dies in the line of duty, this story specifically detailing one marine's experiences. Pretty thought evoking if you ask me.
