the gravestone issue is a complete non-issue in my mind. AS LONG AS the family has the choice, which apparently there have been some mistakes that need to be corrected.

in the past if you saw a soldier's gravestone and noted the date you could make a pretty safe assumption of where they died. there was no need to have WWII or Korea engraved. in today's environment of "non-war" there are two completely separate combat theaters and if i were KIA i would want it noted which one i was involved in.
