Coming Home From War Too Soon

Somebody remind me why we started this . . . . TIME magazine has poignant photoessay by Todd Heisler of the Rocky Mountain News, about the job of notifying a family that their loved one has died in Iraq, and helping them to receive and bury the body. Picture #5, of 24-year old Jim Cathey's pregnant widow Katherine the night before his funeral, has to be one of the most sadly beautiful photos I've seen in a long, long time. From TK.
