Your link doesn't go with this story, I'm afraid. Could you fix that, so I can visit the actual story?
Sorry this is a very small newspaper group. They got the interview with Congresswoman Harris because it is her 'hometown paper'. The report is not on the paper's website.
She deeply respects the privacy of the troops' families and no reporters are permitted at her meetings with the families.
I had to get permission from the author (who was hard to locate) then scan the article in so it could be posted.
