fighting for this country. the americans who died believing their loved ones would be taken care of back here at home. and today they re not. their families have been told those instant benefits to cover funeral costs, travel expenses to say good-bye, sorry. you will have to wait. this is what they re told. and that includes the families of these four soldiers and one marine killed last weekend in afghanistan. four of them brought home for burial just hours ago. we ll pause and take a moment to show you the video of the poignant ceremony for one of them at dover air force base. uninterrupted in just a moment, but first, if there is any sound worth hearing from either chamber of congress today, it is this, and it s not from a lawmaker. lord, when our federal shutdown delays payments of death benefits to the families of children dying on far away battlefields, it s time for our lawmakers to say enough is enough. cover our shame. with the robe of your righteousness. forgive us
