Definitions
(US, _, military slang) An official letter informing of a person killed in action.
1940s, Sam Glanzman, "The Kiyi", in Our Army at War #258, July 1973:
“I liked exploring Ursa, and her relationship with Kiyi after the face change. I liked Azula finding some kind of comfort, in her own broken way. Though, I really want her to find peace. I don’t need a full redemption, just for her to heal from her trauma.”
