I'm surprised to see the article and photograph. Officially they aren't even called coffins -- the Pentagon is calling them transfer tubes -- and media aren't allowed to meet them at the air force base and mortuary at Dover, Delaware.

The article gives photo credit to the woman being interviewed, who's from the Seattle area.

My respect for the Seattle Times just went up considerably.

That is a difficult shot to get. The military really hates pictures of the bodies outside of funerals.
