Hero Marines dead bodies in New Verham return home, received by Prime Minister. 
February 5700 (backdated)

Following the successful seizure of the Luthorian embassy in Chukyo, New Verham, it has been stated by media sources in New Verham, at the request of the terrorists who first attacked the embassy, that 2 Luthorian Marines, tasked with defending the embassy were killed during the crossfire exchange in the battle. These two soliders, then revealed to be Paul Keith-Joseph (23) and Sam Proming (27) have been stated to have brought back home today. Their caskets being welcomed at the Emperor Albert Military Airport (Fort William) by their respective families and members of the Luthorian government such as Prime Minister Cameron Seddon following the successful mission to liberate the Luthorian embassy. 

The Luthorian Prime Minister, who promised back on February 11th that the nation would organise a “proper funeral ceremony” had to back down from his promises following opposition from their respective families. A statement issued by the Proming family through their lawyer stated the family’s wish to “mourn [their son] quietly without the pomp of an official military funeral”. 

The government seemingly “quietly” abandoned their projects, when faced with the families’ ultimate rejection of such a farewell ceremony. Both soldiers are to be buried with military honours in their respective cities, with only a chosen few, chosen by their respective families in a private gathering to celebrate their lives, achievements and make a proper, small and private farewell. 

Both families had been received at Rottingham Palace by Emperor Richard II following the announcement of their sons’ demise, the Emperor expressed his “deepest sympathy” and that of the entire Luthorian imperial family at this tragedy. His Majesty also commended their sons’ courage and commitment at defending the Luthorian embassy, even if outnumbered. 

Both riflemen were posthumously promoted to Lance Corporal and Sergeant respectively following their demise, as per recent orders signed by Emperor Richard II regarding the two’s ranks in death.
