If you have read my other posts, you know I am an unabashed memorialist, which is quite different from a monument builder.
I read an article today regarding the Marines in Iraq and how the Marines have lost so many of their comrades that they have learned much about the ceremony of burial.
One reference within the article I read, was published by the Los Angeles Times. See, http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/frontline/2006/12/saying_farewell.html. "Saying Farewell" is a well-written post that I enjoyed greatly.
It references the famous poem, "In Flanders Fields." See, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Flanders_Fields.
Our good men and women are being sacrificed in a war that we should never have fought. Support our military, but damn the politicians that got us into an unjust war!
