The night before the burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps, killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of "Cat", and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept.
"I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it" she said.
"I think that's what he would have wanted".

-Not sure what is more honorable: Being married to this faithful wife to the end 
or the Marine standing next to the casket watching over them both.
It is never too late to say Thank You or I Love You

So sad to see another young life lost. I think it shows dedication and love. I cannot imagine how sad she must have felt on her last night with her husband. Lets hope it all ends soon and all who are involved can return home to loved ones.
