According to the Washington Post, "The family of Army Spec. Rodney A. Jones buried the young soldier at Arlington National Cemetery yesterday, along with his dreams. Jones, 21, was killed Sept. 30 in Baghdad when a car bomb exploded near his dismounted patrol. He was the 87th soldier killed in Iraq to be buried at Arlington.... Acting Secretary of the Army Les Brownlee attended the service and at one point knelt in front of family members and spoke to them privately." However, after 19 months of war in Iraq and 87 burials, President George Bush has failed to attend a single funeral down the street from the White House.
