I'm not someone who cries very often, but this brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills... In 1967 Col. Roy Knight was shot down in the Vietnam War. His remains were only recently found, and were returned to the US. In general that provides the family with some much needed closure. However, there's…

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and we could actually do with one less.

Cry? I’m sorry but no way, The US went somewhere they didn’t belong because Mao put out a bait where he felt he had a place where he could kill them off with the help of another country’s people. Very similar to Korea. Nobody would go to make war with China so Mao staged it in other areas.

I’m sorry for your people who voted in presidents not FOR America and it people, but merely for the sake of feeling righteous about being world police and “saving the world”.

From what? Gun control?

Having that said, I lived in a Muslim country for five years and never had an issue, very friendly people, however the ones who hasn’t traveled are a bit naive in a funny way.

Islamist were created by people interfering with their lives because of economical interests, if the world really cares about people it wouldn’t be so hard to get a shot at North Korea, but unfortunately for its people they got no oil...

@Chris: I’m sure that’s all very comforting for the man who last saw his father when he was five years old and who had nothing to do with the war.

Rituals like these aren’t for the dead, they’re for the living. Have a heart.
