JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: A final journey began Friday for some of the sailors killed in the attack against the USS Cole. CNN's Chris Burns reports from Ramstein, Germany.</s>CHRIS BURNS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A C-17 transport plane arrives in a cold, gray drizzle at a base that has long served as a byway for countless casualties from countless conflicts. Aboard are the remains of five U.S. sailors killed in the explosion that devastated the USS Cole. Air Force and Navy honor guards slowly carry out the flag-draped caskets and place each one in a hearse as representatives from each branch of the U.S. military stand at attention: a simple, but moving ceremony. The remains were then taken to nearby Landstuhl U.S. military hospital, where they were to be kept before making the final journey home. Chris Burns, CNN, Ramstein, Germany.
