Solitary Salute: US Dead Return Home
cobalt123 07:38h


CNN has published a story about the site "Memory Hole" which was successful in getting Freedom of Information Act photos of the return of our dead US military to Dover Air Force Base. These 360+ photos are the ones that the US government does not want the public to see. I've listed the Memory Hole several times over the last few years in this blog. It is dedicated to preserving the published information, particularly the US government information that mysteriously disappears from public records and published media. Webauthor Fred successfully got the original denial of files reversed, to his great surprise. He received a CD of all these images! All the photos are at this link, but maybe I should say "for now".

 US War dead return to Dover AFB

And why is this important beyond the impact for their families, friends and colleagues? Remember back to the Vietnam War days when the images of US body bags and caskets strengthened resistance by the public to continuing that war. Respect for these people giving their lives includes these public images and records. Think how powerful an image a day on the front page of US newspapers would be. Publish not only the images of our living returning troops and National Guard - publish ALL returning troops. Not just the ones with a "solitary salute" (see image below).
