Military Mom Invites Media To View Son's Flag-Draped Coffin |
|
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The mother of a soldier killed in Iraq summoned news outlets to photograph her son's flag-draped casket arriving at Sacramento International Airport to protest a Pentagon policy banning media coverage of America's war dead.
Nearly a dozen reporters, photographers and television crews watched as the coffin of Army Sgt. Patrick McCaffrey, 34, was transferred to a hearse outside an airport cargo terminal shortly before midnight Sunday, officials said. http://www.thesandiegochannel.com/news/3469290/detail.html

2. Our heartfelt condolences to this brave and honest woman |

And our thanks for her courage and spirit.
She just called the junta out. I'm betting they don't take the challenge.
