D.C. National Guard Soldier Killed in Iraq 8/27/03

Does that make it four today (including the one killed by non-hostile fire)? Yup, we've got those terrorists right where we want them.

This is an outrage.

these are the things that every citizen loses with every day of this misadministration in power.

I am so sorry :(

He died for Haliburton, Exxon and the Carlyle Group.

Some epitaph.

that's killing our soldier's on a daily basis, as some would have you believe. (sarcasm off)

RESPONDING TO THE MEDIA

Under no circumstances should you make any
guarantees to provide media access to family members;
If a reporter asks you to arrange an interview with a family member or asks to obtain information from a family
member, offer to take the reporter's name, organization and telephone number.

If the family members are approached by media desiring to be present at the funeral or memorial service, ensure that the family
members understand that it is solely their decision whether or not to allow the media at the service. However, the funeral director
needs to be advised if media will be attending so appropriate arrangements can be made.

In the event the family will be interviewed by the media or the family permits the media to attend the service, ensure the
family is informed that an Army PAO representative can provide assistance. If the family desires PAO assistance, contact the
PAO located at the installation responsible for providing support for the family and the funeral service director. If the family
does not request PAO assistance, you should still contact the PAO to inform them of anticipated media involvement.
