That photo of the mother reaching out for her son breaks my heart.

Are you refering to post #10? I'm not certain what that was all about but it was not the mother........

[Shyla]

Thank you both!!!

NE Ohio has great people and patriots.

Hope to see you again soon Shyla.. it has been a few years since we met for lunch at Pizzaz in Mayfield Hts!

[Shyla]

She was identified as the mother in the newspaper, and bears a very striking resembalnce to the women at the funeral,either way its heart breaking.

I was at the funeral I made it till the Marines presented the parents with his Purple heart medals before breaking down.

She was identified as the mother in the newspaper

If you say so, its not a situation that needs to be argued. Her attire is not that of a grieving mother and it appears she is grabbing a tag that had been attached to the casket. Also, she is not in a physical position worthy of a parent witnessing the casket of her son being carried into the church. Family members would have already been assembled inside..........

Just offering my observation, thats all.........

Whatever the case, it's still sad.........

To all who watched the video:

I just had an email confirm that the female Army spokesperson (Toni), is my neighbors daughter.

Wow...the circle is getting smaller.
She was not far from where I was standing at one point.
