Letters from Obama

I read the artice, "Death on the Battlefield." Revealed in this article was that Obama is planning to contact the families of those who committed suicide, or died in battle through a letter to help the families cope with their lost. Obama originally wanted to send to those families where their troop committed suicide but several administrators in the White House policiy denied to honor those who committed suicide, but accpeted to honor those who dies behind a gun. Studies believes that Obama writing condulgences to the people will prevent the rates of more tragic deaths. In my opinion this is a great doing. Just like Mr. Keesling said to CBS News, " He was a good solider, and that's the part that i want to know - that the country appreciates that he fought." i feel that's all that really matters is that the family knows regardless of how they died that the country appreciates what he or she has donne for the country. they put their life on hold and went to a place they had no knowledge of, went through hard training every day to fight for our protection. So by Obama's doing i feel it will give those families closure and help them to move on as well.
