I'm very saddened to be the one to break this to you, Mr and Mrs. Holly, but do you really think George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice or Donald Rumsfeld really care how your heroic fallen son comes back from Iraq? To them, he is of no use anymore.
Oh, of course, now that you've pointed this travesty out to everyone you will be hearing all of the contemptible right wing chickenhawks, the warmongering Republican politicians and those who support them, but they actually couldn't care less about your son now that he can no longer fight their made-up 'war on terror'.
I
am sincerely saddened by your loss Mr. And Mrs. Holly. But since you had only one child to give to our country, the loudmouths on the 'right', don't have much use for your family anymore.
God Bless your son, Mr. & Mrs. Holly. And, thank you.
Family Upset Over Soldier's Body Arriving As Freight
There's controversy over how the military is transporting the bodies of service members killed overseas, 10News reported.
A local family said fallen soldiers and Marines deserve better and that one would think our war heroes are being transported with dignity, care and respect. It said one would think upon arrival in their hometowns they are greeted with honor. But unfortunately, the family said that is just not the case.
Dead heroes are supposed to come home with their coffins draped with the American flag -- greeted by a color guard.
But in reality, many are arriving as freight on commercial airliners -- stuffed in the belly of a plane with suitcases and other cargo.
John Holley and his wife, Stacey, were stunned when they found out the body of their only child, Matthew John Holley, who died in Iraq last month, would be arriving at Lindbergh Field as freight.
*Update-Matthew Holley's body was finally transferred to another aircraft and treated with the honor and dignity he deserved only after Barbara Boxer's office got involved. After being alerted to what was happening by Mr. & Mrs. Holly, a staff member of Senator Boxer interceded and Matthew Holly's body was finally removed from the 'freight' or cargo section of a commercial airliner at a stop-over in Kentucky. Democrats care and respect our soldiers and Marines even
after they've given everything they have to give.
