Today is a special day. One many may not realize the portent of. Today marks the return of America being able to recognize and honor the sacrifice of it’s military. Phillip A. Myers, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, body was returned to US soil last night and the American press corp covered it. The image of his flag draped coffin marked the end to a news blackout that The Bush Administration fostered so that the American people could be better manipulated for political purposes. If there is a special place in Hell for evil men, Mr. Bush will surely occupy it one day.  Cnn’s coverage is here.

The thing that makes this germane to us, the working shmoes, is that when one sees a body, it personalizes the sacrifice. That stars and stripes covered box is someone’s Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Son or Daughter who believed enough to sacrifice all for the right of me to scribe this blog and journalists everywhere to report, that yes, Philllip Myers life and sacrifice fucking mattered.

My girlfriend Donna, who has no idea I am writing this just blurted out from the other room:

“Hey honey, we have a black President. ”  Yes we do, and he is a Constitutional Attorney. Our country is coming back to us. One body at a time. And now we will see what there is to see. We should have all along. Welcome home Sgt Myers.

Known as America’s poet laureate, a tribute from Canadian born Leonard Cohen is here.  I love my friends, thanks again to Shawn Alladio for sending this.

A fantastic tribute to the fallen Marines at Makin Island is here.

One flag for each that died, The 911 memorial at Pepperdine a fraction of our military loss.
