As pallbearers pull the casket bearing the body of Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Aaron Romero out of a hearse, an unidentified soldier salutes the fallen soldier as his casket is taken into a memorial service in the Denver armory of the Colorado National Guard, Tuesday, May 7, 2002. Romero, of Longmont, Colo., was one of four American soldiers killed April 15 while trying to disarm ordnance in Afghanistan. Romero is the first Colorado soldier to die in the conflict in Afghanistan. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)

May God be with the Romero family. He was a hero to all of us.

Interesting photo, and the caption reads, in part, "an unidentified soldier..."

Look along the bottom edge of the photo, just left of center. See the green stole and gold cross? The unidentified soldier is the chaplain.

Praise God that our military doesn't believe in the separation of church and state....
