Kerry and Lautenberg Want Coffins Returning Made Public
Pentagon reviewing ban on photographing coffins -
Senator Kerry and Senator Lautenberg said the Pentagon needs to make coffins of dead troops returning to Dover available to the press.
“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.”
