If you go to google you will see that the Bush administration has recommended doubling the death benefit for soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to $500,000

Don't know if congress has passed this legislation but I'm pretty sure the $250,000 has been in effect for a while.

Thanks for the info. That is certainly something deserved and costs us a lot less than paying off illegals whose family members died in 9/11.
