Nope, purely specualtion on my part. I'm just thinking of the funerals where I have been sitting in the front row; they have all been for elderly relatives. I kno what that grief is like and couldn't imagine having to be on camera; never mind having a son who was cut down in the prime of life. Being concerned with if I appear to be sad enough, or too sad, or whatever.
We all handle death a little differently. Just thinking of my perspective.
I also saw an interview with one of the fathers of the fallen soldiers. He said if we wanted to grieve with them then we could lower our own flags to half mast. The flag I have hanging in my cubicle is now flying at half mast; and that's how I am honouring the soldiers; as per the father's wishes.
