Rod, I didn't mean that we should be allowed to see the dead bodies, etc. I mean the formal removal of the flag-draped (clean) coffins, with respectful military pall-bearers, in dress-blues.... Slowly marching to the waiting hearses, which then take them to the morgue...The coffins are not OPEN, for Pete's sake,Rod! The ceremony of pall-bearing is not at all distasteful. But it's very sad & moving.. Something our leaders do not want us to see ....
PS I wore ski-clothes while waiting for the Concord to land today...COLD!
