  • "My beloved son, my hero". What kind of people would deny a grieving mother this last request? The same kind of people who think George Bush and Dick Cheney were patriotic heroes when in fact Bush was a deserter who ran off to the National Guard to escape active duty in Vietnam and Cheney got five draft deferments to escape military duty, period. Leave this poor mother alone. She sacrificed more than any veteran on this blog ever did or ever will. Signed: A Vietnam Vet.

  • The national veterans cemetery is for those that served in the military, only. no further discussion.

  • Her choices: go to Iraq and fight. Or move his body to another cemetary

    Can't she just wait to see him in heaven?

  • This poor mother lost her ONLY child to some damn war, in some damn country and now our DAMN government is mincing politics over "available space"?

    Doesn't it pike your interest AT ALL that our government anticipates SO MANY DEATHS OF YOUNG SOLDIERS that they can't even accommodate one or two grieving parents in the ground along side them?

    C'mon!!!!

  • Join the Army, and Kill yourself! Achievement Unlocked

  • why don't they just say that they'll bury her there, how will she know where she's buried when she dies?

  • Reversed Edipo's complex ... let him rest in peace !

  • I second that option as well and it also sickens me that the choice isn't left up to us the soldiers but up to some damn government official who most likely has never served a day in the service in their entire lives. This whole damn thing is wrong and just some giant publicity stunt that will probably pressure the government into saying fine go ahead let her be buried where she doesn't belong.

  • I feel sorry for the lady or anybody that has lost a loved one in service to our country But I am a vet and she has no right to be burried next me when I pass on

  • She is not a vet. If she wants to be buried there then maybe she should go to Iraq.
