How To Honor "The Fallen"

Ted Koppel says he was honoring those who gave their lives in Iraq by reading their names. (Was he dishonoring those who have died in Afghanistan by not doing so?)

Perhaps a better way to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice is to carry out their wishes.

Of course, it is impossible to poll the dead (unless you are John Edward). So we are left to speculate as to what the majority of "The Fallen" would want from the American people and their government.

Would they want:

A) An immediate withdrawl from Iraq, so no more of their brothers and sisters have to die in a futile pre-emptive war?

or

B) An unwavering resolve to see to it that the job gets done, whatever the cost, so that they will not have died in vain?

I don't know the answer. None of us does. But I am curious as to what the rest of you think...
