It breaks my heart when I see pictures in the news paper of young kids crying at their fathers funeral who were killed in Afghanistan.

If you really want to see something sad, watch the documentary Section 60 (I saw it on HBO). Section 60 is the section of Arlington National Cemetery where servicemen from Afghanistan and Iraq are being buried. Scenes of young widows with toddlers sitting on their laps being presented the flag from their husbands coffin will rip your heart out.
