Back in the Vietnam days, it was very common to see Military funerals on TV. This Administration chose to stop that practice.

I lost it at the sight of her sleeping under the casket...

We Americans are truly blessed to be protected by the men and women of our military.

We Americans are truly blessed to be protected by the men and women of our military.I have a picture somewhere on my PC of the Dayton National Cemetary. I was coming out of work one day and just happened to have my camera with me. Hope I can find it.

That was difficult to read, I can't imagine how those families feel.

I had read an article on the book this was taken from a few weeks ago. It did not have the pictures with it. The article was powerful, the pictures are even more powerful. These are very brave people who paid the ultima price. We should always honor them and remember those they left behind. The young wife and the child that will never meet his father is especially hard to take.

May the young marine and all the miltary dead rest in peace.
