1. So much sacrifice

So much dedication
So little time to thank them all

[diamond14]

2. true, all of the TIME and MONEY went to reaguns funeral....

the cost of giving all Federal employees a day off to honor reaguns was $ 433 MILLION...the cost of the ceremonies alone was estimated at over $ 3 MILLION....

a better honor would have been to give some of that money to these military families that need it....

3. So very true. Ironic that *handouts* are ok for pomp and circumstance.

:(

4. You khow what drives me crazy. The media spends more time telling us

about the number of Iraq "insurgents" killed than they tell us about American casualties. In other words they are obsessed with telling us about who we are killing than honoring the sacrifice of our soldiers.
