Los Angeles Times

De'on Miller holds a folded American flag from her son Aaron's coffin while reflected in a memorial with a single name on it that was erected outside the Lea County Courthouse in New Mexico. It was dedicated on June 30th, 2004, the same day the box containing Aaron's personal effects from Iraq showed up at Miller's house.
