Soldiers Gravestones Have Pentagon Slogans
The gravestones of fallen Americans buried at Arlington National
Cemetery during the Iraq war era show a change in style from earlier conflicts... Unlike earlier wars, nearly all Arlington National Cemetery gravestones for troops killed in Iraq or Afghanistan are inscribed with the operation names, such as 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' and 'Operation Enduring Freedom', which the Pentagon selected to promote public support for the conflicts.
