President Obama honors fallen Americans at Dover Air Force Base

His name was Dale R. Griffin, an Army sergeant from Terre Haute, Ind. He was the last fallen soldier to come before Obama. And his remains were the only ones to be honored in full view of the media with the permission of his family. An 18-year ban on such coverage was lifted this year under Obama's watch.

People see through this man. I’m sorry for the families of those who have fallen, and my heart goes out to them. To the families this is a somber moment, but to Obama is just a photo op.  I’m glad these families had the courage to not allow this moment to be memorialized by pictures taken with this man.
