Respect

That is why photos of our fallen Heros coffins are not shown. It has been a law for many , many years.

As a military wife the thought of my DH dieing in the line of duty is a terror i have to , as many spouces like me, face each and every day.

But to show the family or coffin of a person who has given up all for our freedoms is consided one of the most disrespectful things you can do, in the eyes of many Active Duty and there families.

To me (IMO) the photos of the people on the side of the road were to remember just how many stand behind our military. I would love to say that i have come across more that support our military than dont , but that is not the case.

Next time you see a person in Uniform , please say thanks. Yes they choise to do this job, but it helps them to know that people see them and what they do to keep us all free.
