Boy Sees Father Honored, Buried

http://www.jsonline.com/news/state/mar04/217962.asp

March 27, 2004
Columbus, WI

Dressed in a cherry red sweater, a 5-year-old boy with bright blond hair sat in a sea of black Saturday, his father lying 10 feet away in a casket covered with white cloth.

Military service members salute the casket of Capt. John F. Kurth as it is carried to a hearse outside Columbus High School on Saturday after his memorial service. Kurth, 31, of Columbus was killed March 13 in a roadside bombing in Tikrit, Iraq.

Goodbye to a small town Wisconsin football hero, a father of a five-year old boy, and a husband. You will be missed and we are proud you you.

And all of this while Bush jokes and fundraises. Mr. Bush, why did you kill this little boy's daddy?

1. It's just horrible.

A murderer jokes about it and people laugh. Disgusting.
