[August 1, 2008] This week Representative Walter B. Jones (R-NC) introduced H. R. 6662, legislation to permit media coverage of military commemoration ceremonies and memorial services conducted by the United States Armed Forces for service members who have died on active duty, and the arrival of the remains of fallen service members at military installations in the United States. . .
. . . “Without a loved one serving in the military, it is sometimes possible for Americans to overlook the sacrifices that have been made – and continue to be made – by members of the Armed Forces on behalf of our Nation. By once again permitting access to accredited members of the media at military commemoration ceremonies, memorial services conducted by the Armed Forces, and the arrival of the remains of fallen service members at U.S. military installations, this legislation would honor those who have given their lives in defense of our Nation.”
