Props to the Louisiana National Guard.....

[MsTryska]

for publicizing the homecoming of 6 of it's dead, despite Pentagon disapproval.


Saw a good clip on it on CBS this morning, unfortunately no text only video from the CBS news site.


I can't insert the direct link here but if you go to:

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/home/main100.shtml

and look to the right hand side of the page where it says "Top Video" it's the second clip down: "Fallen GIs get public ceremony"


it was a pretty good clip too, discussing how the pentagon doesn't want any press showing of flag-draped caskets and how Louisiana refused to follow that, and some comments from one of the widows discussing the bumpers stickers and ribbons and support our troops crap compared to reality.


I say Rock On Louisiana!

to CBS (altho i don't really want to) for running this story the way they did too.
