In this July 1, 2011 photo, retired U.S. Air Force soldier Littleton Jay Fortune, from Chester, PA, wipes his tears after praying at the grave of his son, U.S. Army Sgt. Maurice Keith Fortune, who was killed in the war in Iraq, after attending the burial of a comrade at Clark Veterans Cemetery at the sprawling Clark Economic Zone, a former U.S. Air Force base in Dau, Pampanga province in northern Philippines.
Retired U.S. soldiers, who voluntarily are keeping watch over the burial grounds, where some of their comrades lay, are waging a low-key battle to prod Washington to fund and take charge of the 2-acre (eight-hectare) cemetery. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
