The Highway of Heroes

[aTailOf2Kitties]

sometimes the fallen soldiers felt it was worth their life to serve their country. I know if I had a family member who was proud to serve and lost his life doing so, I'd be terribly upset if I saw his picture on an anti-war site, knowing they would not agree with it. People in this country get so hell-bent on their own agendas they often drag in those who do not want to be involved. I say the Highway of Heroes is a great way to honor the fallen and I'm sure a lot of similar things take place in the US, but if it was ever done on a grand (and very public) scale somebody, somehow, would find a way to ruin it for those who just want to honor the fallen, regardless of how or why they lost their lives. Families have enough on their plates dealing with their own losses without someone else using their beloved lost sons/daughters as just another pawn in their own twisted chess game.

If the families agree to photos, then that's fine, but truth be told it's hard to control who shows up with a camera and what they plan to do with the pictures.

They are talking of allowing photos of the flag draped coffin - not any actual body!
