The following is an example of how Obama is changing the tone of America from the Bush Cheney administration. The subtle change in the tone will bring benefits domestically, internationally and most importantly for the families of those who lose loved ones in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Obama is facilitating families of soldiers who make the ultimate sacrafice in Iraq and Afghanistan to be able to meet the fallen soldier at Dover Air Force base as the body is returned to the US.
The Bush adminisration discouraged or prevented family members from meeting the body at Dover. They felt stories of the families meeting their deceased family members may create negative publicity about their war they were trying to sell the US population. Their propaganda was more important than respect for fallen soldiers and their families.
That shows what rotten bastards Cheney and Bush were.
Obama is reversing the policy.
