Obama Honors Returning War Dead

Interesting move, bound to be praised and damned equally.

I personally think that leaders should attend every return of war dead personally and meet their relatives. Just take a moment to, 'get back to the floor'. It's all too easy to think in terms of numbers and statistics, particularly in the case of multiple casualties.

Very true, humbling if you would.

I don't care for him as President, I disagree with many of his proposals, but as long as he does not make the thing a spectacle, which to his honor he did not, then I have the utmost respect for his actions in this. Give credit where credit is due.
