disturbing the dead

Date: March 16, 2003 | 12 Muharram 1424 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: family, commentary
Perhaps you've heard the story about the Congresswoman who wants to encourage the remains of U.S. servicemen buried in France and Belgium to be dug up and returned to the U.S.

It's hard for me to even find words to express my feelings about this woman's stupidity. It literally beggars belief that she is serious about this.

I've been waiting to post on this topic until my mom got back from her trip to Minnesota because I wanted to ask her for some details of family history.

My great-uncle (my grandfather's brother), Mathias Kovach, is buried in Normandy. He was killed in action during World War Two. When my family visited France in 1988, we went to find his grave.

The idea of having my great-uncle disturbed from his resting place (buried where he served and where he died) disturbs me a lot. I can only think this Congresswoman has lost her mind.

Note: You can find Mathias Kovach's name here and here on lists of soldiers who gave their lives.

Also, Arthur Silber at The Light of Reason has a great post called It's About Much More Than French Fries, on the topic of France-bashing.
