"Gene Storey" wrote: "Otis Willie" wrote Airman killed in Vietnam laid to rest at Fort Logan This is a joke. These people are already "laid at rest" (much like sailors in sunken ships) and we are only destroying their resting place. At the most, these poor people receive a leg bone, or a piece of skull, or just a damned hunk of bone. Then they bury this in a full size coffin and everyone thinks a "real" body came home. PEOPLE!! These people are mostly dust now, there is no real remains except for microscopic fragments that provide a low grade DNA sample. ****! Don't you think that their families would prefer that their loved ones be given an honorable funeral at HOME? With a grave that the family can visit on occasion, instead of a jungle or hillside halfway across the globe? The families want their loved ones brought home, and DOD is honoring those requests. Even if the remains are not much, the families get closure, and relief that their loved one is off the MIA list. Posted via www.My-Newsgroups.com - web to news gateway for usenet access! |
