I think it is a great way for those who don't see names on a casualty report to see and remember a name. The numbers that are often reported to the rest of us become a father, brother, sister, mother, daughter or son to whomever reads the name on that can. I wish they would put this on soda cans too. I do not believe you can ever be too young to understand the human cost of freedom.

Not sure what to think of that, I'm sure the company's heart is in the right place but part of me applauds it while the other side of me thinks we should leave that alone. Perhaps it's just better to drink to our fallen comrades without their names on the receptacle.

I don't see it being any different than posting pictures of missing children on milk cartons

As some of the money is going back to vets all for it. No better way to pour one out and help raise money at the same time.
