The email was signed by a retired officer in the Navy, a guy I'm gonna call Charlie.
It's not his real name.
The document he'd attached to the email was an essay.
It was four pages long.
He'd written it quickly after Eddie Ferlani's funeral.
Eddie was a stranger to him, but there was something about the whole experience that seemed to kind of haunt him, that led him to write an essay, something deeply emotional.
I couldn't tell what it was, so I gave him a call.
So why did you write us?
Do you write radio shows a lot?
Okay, so maybe Charlie writes radio shows more than most people.
I asked him to tell me the story of Eddie Furlani's funeral.
The story begins with a random text message from a friend of Charlie's, a guy named Mark.
He and Charlie went to the Naval Academy together.
After graduation, Charlie went on to become a naval aviator.
He flew Medevac helicopters in Iraq in 2007.
His friend Mark joined the Navy SEALs, the Navy's Special Operations Forces.
What was the text that you got from Mark?
Frogman is a nickname for a navy SEAL.
Eddie Ferlani and Mark had been navy sales together.
The funeral was gonna be in San Diego, and Mark, who lives in Florida, couldn't make it.
