11. How does one adequately apologize for calling one's dead son/daughter a john doe?

"There are no words to adequately apologize for this mistake or for the hurt it may have caused," Brig. Gen. Reuben D. Jones, the Army adjutant general, said in the statement to be posted.

Boyce said all the other information in the letter regarding the assistance organizations was correct.

"It is important the original intent of the letter is not lost," Jones' statement said. "The organizations mentioned are dedicated to honoring loved ones and recognizing their sacrifice and commitment."

MAY HAVE CAUSED?

Using measly words such as may have caused is certainly not the appropriate way to apologize.
