This man was the first from my small hometown to be killed in Iraq. (A stroke of luck for my town) I'm impressed with the tribute they are making for him. The city has gathered volunteers to hold flags all along the funeral route as a salute. It will be covered in the local newspapers, and by the local news stations.
What I want to know is, why aren't we seeing these things on the news? Why are our fallen soldiers not given, at the very least, a moment of silence (Like the Newshour with Jim Lehrer does) at the end of the news program? Why don't we see the funerals, or the caskets draped in flags? Is it because seeing that every time we lost a soldier would make the occupation real to us? I wonder.

About My Digital Kits
- scrapoflife
- Just some notes about my digital work. I create all my kits at 300dpi, the industry print standard, so that you will never have problems with pixelated images when submitting for publication. All papers are 12x12 unless otherwise noted, and are heavily layered for depth and texture. I put a lot of time and care into all of my digital elements, and am sure you will find them of the highest quality. I do enjoy the grungier style papers, so that is often what you will find in my kits. Thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy the freebies, as well as the kits for sale.

I guess it depends on the local news where you live. I get my network news out of Cleveland, Ohio, and they have really wonderful coverage of the funerals, memorials, etc. (Especially the NBC affiliate.) No matter what one's political views are, the loss of life is just so very sad.
Blessings,
Sally
