Hardest one for me was a kid, an only child, KIA in Iraq within months of graduating high school.

Damn near got myself arrested, too. When the honor guard presented the flag of their only son to the grieving parents, TV cameramen rushed in and nearly knocked them over, pushing and jostling to stick their cameras and microphones right up in their tear-stained faces, damn near hitting the mother in the face with a TV camera lens. I had a powerful, almost overpowering impulse to inflict great bodily injury and property damage. Never looked at "journalists" the same way again.
