Nightline To Repeat "The Fallen"
ABC News’ Nightline announced this morning that on Memorial Day it will repeat last year’s controverisal honoring of the American war dead. The episode, again entitled “The Fallen,” will see Ted Koppel read the names of all U.S. troops killed since last year’s show in Iraq and Afghanistan–all told over 900.
Nightline’s EP Tom Bettag explained: “Too often we simply report casualties in terms of numbers. ‘The Fallen’ is our way of reminding viewers, regardless of their feelings about the war, that the men and women who have given their lives in our behalf are individuals with names and faces.”
