I can really appreciate that you know first hand what it's like. I agree that these first few stories are about the media, but after the newness of covering the caskets of our fallen, don't you think that the stories may begin to focus on the soldiers themselves?</p><p>I watched a CNN interview where a mother of a fallen soldier agreed with your position and said that she is concerned about the media using the images in ways that would dishonor the soldier--not necessarily now, but perhaps sometime in the future.</p><p>Do you have any thoughts on that?</p>CheriMon, 06 Apr 2009 15:20:14 -0000http://cheri-thomas.blogspot.com/2009/04/military-mortuary-open-to-media-for.html#comment-7913456<p>NO THE MEDIA SHOULD NOT BE THERE, HOWEVER THE MYERS FAMILY DID BY CHOICE AND THE COVERAGE ISN'T EVEN ABOUT Staff Sgt. Phillip Myers IT IS ABOUT THE MEDIA.... GO FIGURE. I SO HAPPY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE HOUNDED BY THE MEDIA IN 2007 OR TO HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. </p>MICHELLE Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:13:23 -0000
