Airman killed in Vietnam laid to rest at Fort

This is a joke. These people are already "laid
at rest" (much like sailors in
sunken ships) and we are only destroying their
resting place.

At the most, these poor people receive a leg
bone, or a piece of skull,
or just a damned hunk of bone. Then they bury
this in a full size coffin
and everyone thinks a "real" body came home.
PEOPLE!! These people
are mostly dust now, there is no real remains
except for microscopic
fragments that provide a low grade DNA sample.

****!


Don't you think that their families would prefer that their loved ones
be given an honorable funeral at HOME? With a grave that the family can visit
on occasion, instead of a jungle or hillside halfway across the globe? The
families want their loved ones brought home, and DOD is honoring those requests.
Even if the remains are not much, the families get closure, and relief that
their loved one is off the MIA list.
