Honor the Fallen : Military Coffins from Iraq
at Dover AFB
Blacklisted and Banned by the Pentagon
Since March 2003, a newly-enforced military regulation has forbidden taking or distributing images of caskets or body tubes containing the remains of soldiers who died overseas.
Update: Due to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Air Force has released 361 photographs showing soldiers' remains arriving home. These are the images that the Pentagon prevented the public from seeing. See them here
Update: The Freedom of Information Act request asked for all photographs showing caskets (or other devices) containing the remains of US military personnel at Dover AFB. This would include, but not be limited to, caskets arriving, caskets departing, and any funerary rites/rituals being performed. The timeframe for these photos is from 01 February 2003 to the present. As a result the Air Force included images of the Space Shuttle Crew being returned to Dover AFB(February 1, 2003). I will begin removing those photos for accuracy. But will leave one on the first page in their honor.-John, 04/22/04
