August 7th, 2007 at 8:05 pmi thought of the same thing, but with the average weekly deaths numbering 9, we’re running a deficit here. So I decided to leave my flag at half mast until the last kid is home and out of harms way. Walt

December 19th, 2007 at 12:35 pmThat would be wonderful if we could do that but it is just not realistic. I wish that we had better ways to honor fallen veterans. In the past in times of war we have had hundreds and sometimes even thousands of fallen marines in a month so I don’t think that is possible but I like Walter Kent’s idea.
