The Daily Mail does its usual excellent job covering American stories...the photos invoke a range of emotions from tears to absolute nausea.

God bless you Christian Jacobs. Your daddy is guarding the gates of Heaven and will be there when you arrive. He is an American hero and patriot and we are all very, very proud of him.

The Daily Mail and Telegraph are becoming the place to go for news by actual journalists. Sad that our media for the most part is merely a directorate in the Ministry of Propaganda.
