I had a run-in with DU over them posting a picture of my cousin in one of their threads shortly after he was killed. I registerd and posted a message on that thread asking them to remove his picture, just his picture and not the entire thread. I told them that Jeremy had been a volunteer and he wanted to serve his country. He did so with pride. I also told them that he wouldn't want his name or picture associated with an anti-war cause. I was banned AND the picture is probably still posted to this day. THAT'S their respect for our servicemen and woman and the families of them.

God Bless Jeremy and your family. No there isn't any respect from DU types nor the media. I was at a funeral where the reporter climbed a tree at the graveside in order to get a good shot of the widow. Now that was a bit disruptive to those of us standing close to the tree. Sure he has the right to climb a tree but it's a funeral for gosh sakes. When he got out of the tree he had to gall to give me and two other mothers a smile. He didn't get one in return.
