Family members of fallen soldiers urged President Obama to allow the flag-draped coffins of their loved ones to be photographed as they arrive home from war.
"Americans should know how many people are dying in the war," said Caitlin Casey, whose fiancé, Sgt. Deon Taylor of the Bronx, was killed in Afghanistan in October.
Thousands of people attended Taylor's funeral, including Mayor Bloomberg, but Casey said not all families are honored in that way.
"There needs to be national coverage," she said. "All you know is if someone dies in your hometown."
