Thank you for your faithfulness in this.
Thank you for caring, Cathy. These heroes should not be passed over.
It's disturbing that not only the moments of silence that used to follow the listing of those killed in the Iraq war have completely disappeared from the likes of Brian Williams but the even the very listing of the names is gone.
How about Gwen Ifill and PBS NewsHour? When Jim Lehrer had the show he made a point all through the Bush years of running a funeral drum roll at the end of every week, with the names of our fallen scrolling past. I believe he was protesting war more than trying to offer a tribute to the sacrifices of our service men and women, but whatever the reason, surely they have not given up on it over at PBS?
JN, yes, PBS too. It was all a hit at the Bush administration and no real care about those who lost their lives. Interesting how hypocrisy comes out one way or another. Thanks for the PBS addition.
Makes you laugh when you see how blind someone like Lehrer is too his own bias. He takes himself so very seriously, but it's plain to see the emperor has no clothes.
JN, and they are so blind that they don't see how pathetic they look in treating our brave military heroes as pawns in a news PR game. To be trundled out when they want to attack a president and otherwise just to be forgotten.
