FILE - In this Monday, May 28, 2012 file photo, the grave of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Michael Harris is seen through an American flag as the the sun rises over Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, Ga.?Harris died Feb 6, 2012 at the age of 22 while serving in Afghanistan.

Families of soldiers killed in action despair that many of their fellow citizens have neither the time nor the patience to grapple with the complexities of the conflict or to appreciate the sacrifice of the soldiers fighting it.
