it is an act of desperation to hold on to every last memory of their child.

NO IT ISN'T! They're crossing the boundry because they're not holding on to memories they have and messages *they* got or sent but rather their child's writings, thoughts and correspondences with others to which they have *NO* right and would otherwise never see. They should respect their fallen hero for the person he showed to them from birth, into school and on until death and nothing more.

Dead child or not. Just because they feel entitled doesn't mean they are.

You accuse them of ulterior motives when in fact it is an act of desperation.....you have no idea what it is like to loose a child and the impact it has on parents and you should pray that you never do.

Then again the coldness in your debate leaves little doubt how emotional it would be for you.
