USA RUECKKEHR KRIEGSOPFER SARG
In this undated photo released by the U.S. Department of Defense and obtained by thememoryhole.org shows flag-draped coffins of U.S. war casualties aboard a cargo plane in Dover, Del. Air Force cargo planes land regularly on the tarmac at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware where a solemn ritual is performed: The anonymous coffins known as "transfer cases," each sealed in the Stars and Stripes and marked with a tag, are unloaded, ultimately to be delivered back to their loved ones. The media and photographers have been kept away since 1991's Persian Gulf War, but President Barack Obama now says he is considering lifting the controversial ban.
