Your friend obviously went to Firefly. It is forcing young people to figure out where Delaware is. Of course, they come here and use GPS, so they don't know where it is anyway. They never realize if they drove through Pennsylvania or Maryland, or Indiana or Tennessee instead.

I actually never heard of the movie. I'll have to check it out. But yes, most/all casualties of our wars are flown into Dover AFB. President Bush, President Obama, and President Trump have all been here to welcome the fallen soldiers home. Dover AFB was the site of controversy when hiding the unloading of bodies became an issue about 9-10 years ago.

Aubrey Plaza has been giving Delaware some spotlight in recent years. I have a couple friends who occasionally see her at Dead Presidents Pub in Wilmington.
