I want to thank the Clark County Politics blog for posting this 2005 Rocky Mountain News Article about how a family first recieves news of a loved one Killed in Action or some other military mishap and the perspectives from the people who have to come to the door to give notice AND be with the family of that fallen soldier.
If you would like, please take the time and read the full article. From what I have been able to learn, it won a pulitzer price for both photographs and the story. It is one of the most tear jerking articles I have read in a long time.

And Clark County has a number of men and women and former military ranks right here. If you know someone who has served in the past, Please DO thank them for their service. And to all who may read this who has served, Thank YOU for service to our country.
