1. Wow.

That's amazing to me that they will do that, and wonderful. It is time we give some public respect and time to remembering those who have been killed. It's time to stop letting it be numbers, and make people realize that these were people. Good for them. Thank you, Ted Koppel.

2. Wow is right!

It should be stunning - I am gonna call my (conservative)
relatives and let them know. Regardless of political
belief, everyone in the whole country ought to be made
to see what is happening in our name.

Needless to say, this is a limited list he is reading -
even a full count of American dead would take too long.
Let's not even think about civilians!

3. It's good that Ted Koppell will take the time to do this.

To memorialize our nation's fallen with this tribute. Their Commander-in-Chief has yet to take the time to meet the first KIA's casket. The sorry SOB won't let even one fund raiser slip through his fingers however. It beats me how any political party could have even nominated a weasel rat-bastard like this for any office. Says a lot about the repuken party.
