i know she's my girl, and it ain't cool to brag on your kids in public- but i really never cease to be amazed that a 14 year old has the maturity to see things in her way...

good job, girli-o!

Return of the Fallen

PENTAGON RELEASES HUNDREDS MORE WAR CASUALTY HOMECOMING IMAGES

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT FORCES OPENING OF 360 NEW PHOTOS

CONFIRMS WAR CASUALTY HONOR CEREMONY IMAGES BELONG IN PUBLIC

National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 152

April 28, 2005

Washington, D.C., April 28, 2005 - In response to Freedom of Information Act requests and a lawsuit, the Pentagon this week released hundreds of previously secret images of casualties returning to honor guard ceremonies from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and other conflicts, confirming that images of their flag-draped coffins are rightfully part of the public record, despite its earlier insistence that such images should be kept secret.

One year after the start of a series of Freedom of Information Act requests filed by University of Delaware Professor Ralph Begleiter with the assistance of the National Security Archive, and six months after a lawsuit charging the Pentagon with failing to comply with the Act, the Pentagon made public more than 700 images of the return of American casualties to Dover Air Force Base and other U.S. military facilities, where the fallen troops received honor guard ceremonies. The Pentagon officially refers to the photos as "images of the memorial and arrival ceremonies for deceased military personnel arriving from overseas." Many of the images show evidence of censorship, which the Pentagon says is intended to conceal identifiable personal information of military personnel involved in the homecoming ceremonies.
