Lance Cpl. Andrew J. Aviles's Memorial

Lance Cpl. Andrew J. Aviles was a Marine killed in Iraq. A memorial his family placed on South Dale Mabry, near MacDill Airforce base, disappeared on Valentine's Day.

She said the visit by President Bush to MacDill Air Force Base on Friday had nothing to do with the crew picking it up. But Andy's father Oscar Aviles questions: Why now?

"It hasn't been a road hazard for three years," he said. "Why has it all the sudden become a road hazard?"

This may very well have been a big understanding. The problem is that President Bush avoids all signs of fallen troops. Bush hides military honor guard ceremonies. He refuses to attend the funerals on fallen military personal. Let's not forget the Orwellian-named Free Speech Zones. The President's credibility for supporting soldiers sucks. I don't blame Oscar Aviles for being skeptical.
