It could have been yesterday. Arlington Cemetery’s Section 60 is where military service members who died in Iraq and Afghanistan lie. The place still makes the news — the superintendent, John Metzler Jr., just resigned — but for most Americans, Section 60 is not a place to talk of scandal or mismanagement.

War Casualties and the Emptiness Left Behind. The first reply to my post “On Memorial Day, Remember the Mothers, Children, Wives and Lovers Too” was from a high school teacher. She remembered Sgt. Ronald Kubik, one of the soldiers featured in the story. She had him in her English class. Sgt. Ronald Kubik, 1988-2010 A month ago Kubik died in Afghanistan. His teacher wrote: “It seems like yesterday that I taught him, but in reality, 7 years have passed since the last day of his freshman year. Ron’s passing has really hit me hard. I might not have seen him in over 4 years (he always stopped by to visit even after he moved and graduated) but I am still having difficulty coming to terms with his untimely death.” I don&#8217...

Arlington Cemetary It’s something that never happened in previous wars. But this is now a routine way of not only determining accurately the cause of death but to also obtain full details about injuries from bullets, blasts, shrapnel, and burns. The end result of these autopsies is yielding a wealth of information that highlights any deficiencies in equipment (ie body armor, vehicle shielding, etc) and has resulted in changes and improvements in military and medical field equipment.

I sat for three demos, and was impressed with all of them. The first demo was created by Infusion, a Microsoft partner that developed an interface to enable physicians and patients to collaborate on health records from Microsoft's HealthVault and Amalga applications.
