I thought it was a shame that Mrs. Baker couldn't afford to pay to fly out to Arlington. I thought it was a shame that the WH treated her and your grandson the way they did. But....surprised, I was not.
I am just glad that her community came together to help her out and provide her the ability to attend the burial in Arlington. What good people there must be in St. Maries, ID. Their help and sense of community is a great example of what Americans are all about!
This behavior (from the WH), all the way around, shows that what is in our WH is not representative of us as Americans. It is an example of the darkest pits of humankind...not the best of humankind or of what America is truly about. I am sure if Pres. Bush had been there, this incident would not have happened.
