Love the Hate.

"The consternation over the USAF's dumping of troops' remains into landfills is unnecessary. While I empathize with the families of the fallen, I find their appeals for the "undignified" actions unworthy of my time.

These families signed away their rights to know what happened in the event of a service member's death, so they have no right to complain about not being informed.

According to the article, the military was fully authorized to appropriately dispose of any remains. It chose to dump the ashes in a nearby landfill.

A better solution would be to use the ashes as fertilizer. What could be more dignified than giving yourself back to the Earth which provided you with life?

MAX MATHESON, ST. PETER, MINN."

Don't forget: our Veterans Day Ceremony will be held tonight at 7:00 pm in Alumni Hall. All are welcome to attend, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Next meeting: Tuesday, 1 November 2011, at 6:30 pm in The Dive. Show your support and help us put the finishing details on our Veterans Day Ceremony!
