I see that headline and then I see the flag-draped coffins in your post. Sorry to sound so glum.

| 5. There were two American Airlines Flight Attendants |
|
who were bringing a roll of sod for the soldiers coming home from Afghanistan to enter into the airplane. A local nursery donated it and they carried it with them on there trip. They were based in Chicago but I knew them when we were based in Los Angeles years ago. Very nice married couple.

Would swap places in Iraq with some of these soldiers, who are drawn mostly from the working classes. That is a gesture I would love to see.
