' finally finality, ' was part of a quote, and you can not 'edit' a quote. But the flag draped soldier was definitely a grammatical error, but the reader DID know what the author was trying to say. also, I wish they would have published this Brave Hero's 'rank'. After all, he earned it, and he should be addressed/referred to by his rank. All in all, I think the article was heart felt, and did justice to the occasion. I'm just glad this Brave Hero has finally been interred in American soil. As the mother of a Fallen Hero myself, I can vouch for the feeling ... almost a 'relief', when my son was returned to America. The profound loss is still there, but there is a comfort in knowing your loved one is finally 'home', in the Country they loved so dearly. My deepest gratitude to this Hero, for his Brave sacrifice. The blood of Heroes, pumps through the 'veins' of America, giving her life. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Too bad KGET couldn't have hired an editor. The story has a soldier "Draped in an American flag" and "veterans and law enforcement" being "Carried by an honor guard," as well as the infelicitous quote about there finally being finality. This kind of writing makes a farce of a story that should stand as a tribute.
