Ditto. She brings up some good points. It would set a precedent and would ultimately lead to special meetings with the families of every soldier who has been slain. I grieve for all of these moms and dads. I don't know how I would handle such a devastating thing as the death of a son/daughter. It is beyond gut-wrenching. I do know that I would not want to be drawing attention to myself though and would choose to do my grieving privately and draw upon the Lord to give me strength and help me through. Out of respect for the families of the others who have died I would not put on such a display as it implies that their sacrifice was in vain. That only adds to their pain and is something I could never do. JMHO
