A True Leader

In this time of war on an idea, when the man responsible for it is so busy trying to restart the cold war and/or world war III, that he has never yet found the time to attend even a single funeral of a soldier who'se given his or her life in that war's execution, I found this photo very moving.

It's from the funeral of Army 1st Lt. Keith Heidtmen in Norwich, Connecticut. The woman on the left is his mother, Maureen Robidoux. The woman on the right fighting back tears is M. Jodi Rell, the Governor of Connecticut. Now that's a true leader!
