I don't see a reason to disrespect another person's memory in order to give accolades to others. While the men and women in our armed forces are indeed worthy of our admiration and gratitude, it is still sad to see someone who's talent meant a lot to many pass away, regardless of the choices she made that led to it. More importantly I'm sure she has a family who cared deeply for her, as all the service members who won't make it home do as well.
