Discuss Mail: "Doctors Retrieve Bullet From War Hero Lodged Under His Skin For 40 Years" in Current Affairs on Navy Net; With ours being the ever-evolving language that it is, might shrapnel not have evolved into a generic term, similar to hoover, and thus it's usage be seen to be correct?...

I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.
In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....
It is an utmost proudness of myself to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire.

Oh come here you big gay bear and give me a hug. I know what you meant. I get much the same when someone calls a weapon system a gun.

Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?
