Want to see one of the greatest pix of the last 10 years?  Don't have a link, but Nachtwey shot it: marines unloading a flad-draped coffin at night from a cargo hold, with the plane's pasengers looking out the windows at it.  I{ think it's in the Life best 05 pix issues.

My brother was just killed in Iraq and his body was treated with respect including the American Flag covering his casket.  His body was then escorted off the plane by local military here in Georgia.  Within 48 hours, President Bush phoned my father's home and expressed his condolences.  I hear what a lot of people are saying, but this administration is doing good in areas as well.

My condolences to you and your family and best wishes
