Remarkable. To think that his widow knew nothing of his fate yet he had a street named after him by the French people in the area where he fell.

A very touching story.

Sad that the congressman was too busy to bother actually looking into this for her and instead just sends her a complete lie. I hope he gets voted out next election. Unbelievable  :furious :furious

That is just inexcusable. I sincerely hope his opponent uses it against him during reelection showing his care for constituents

A lazy deceitful politician?... naaaaawwwww......   OK, but seriously, I hope he did/does her better than the facebook responce/apology... just guessing, but I wonder if she even has/uses a computer for email, nevermind online social networking.

How out of touch.
