Reply #8: I am reminded of a photo posted here at DU of John Kerry quietly attending [View All]

a funeral at Arlington National Cemetary of a serviceman from Mass. killed in Iraq (about a year ago). It wasn't published in the NY Times or any other news outlet I saw, so I was incredibly impressed with Kerry for his empathy and integrity.

This is similar to Garry Trudeau's visiting at vets hospitals (also Walter Reed if I remember correctly) so he could accurately portray the wounded vets in his strip, Doonesbury. The stark contrast to the Republicans is just so astonishing...

Can you imagine Dick Cheney ("I had other priorities") doing something like that?

Bravo indeed, Sen. Obama. I doff my cap!
