That means you could start seeing more pictures like this.
For a while, a policy at the Pentagon banned media from taking pictures of flag-draped coffins. President Obama announced yesterday he wanted to review the ban.
"If the needs of the families can be met, and the privacy concerns can be addressed, the more honor we can accord these fallen heroes, the better," Gates told reporters at a Pentagon news conference Tuesday. "So I'm pretty open to whatever the results of this review may be."Gates says he asked for the ban to be reviewed a year ago, but that didn't happen.
Personally, I think the pictures should be allowed. Those men and women are serving their country overseas. If they pay the ultimate price for our freedom, they should at least be able to be honored when they come home.
People need to know about our troops dying overseas.
What do you think?
