The flag-draped coffins of at least four U.S. soldiers killed during a weekend onslaught against a U.S. military outpost in Afghanistan were scheduled to arrive Tuesday at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, the military said.
The bodies will include Sgt. Joshua J. Kirk of South Portland, Maine; Spc. Michael P. Scusa of Villas, New Jersey; Spc. Christopher T. Griffin of Kincheloe, Michigan; and Pfc. Kevin C. Thomson of Reno, Nevada, according to the Air Force mortuary affairs office. The dignified transfer ceremony also might include other fallen service members.
Coverage of the troops' return is allowed with the permission of their families under a policy the Obama administration instituted this year.

If Obama doesn't stick to and deliver his campaign promisses, then he will surely lose his second term in office.
Who ever has Obama's ear they better be talking quickly because it seems more and more people are getting dissatisfied with the lack of things that he is getting done!
