AIR DATE: May 30, 2011 - SUMMARY
Wyatt Prunty's poem, "The Returning Dead," is a response to the NewsHour's Honor Roll of service personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The poem first aired in 2006. Transcript
The PBS Newshour started these "Silent Honor Rolls" as we sent soldiers into invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, adding those killed as the country moved quickly from Afghanistan and seeking those guilty of the criminal terrorist attacks of 9/11 and invaded, destroyed and occupied an innocent country and people, Iraq! They used to have a separate page with links to each "Honor Roll" till they revamped the show and site. You can still find some here, mixed in with other reports, but they don't seem to be keeping them current as they air them after some of the TV shows when they get photo's and information of the Fallen.
