Sinclair Okays “The Fallen”

Baltimore’s Sinclair Broadcasting Group has decided that since this isn’t an election year, it’s okay for ABC to honor the men and women who died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Sinclair Broadcast Group applauds ‘Nightline’ for paying tribute to those servicemen and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan by reading their names on Memorial Day, a day set aside to honor our fallen heroes,” the group said in a statement yesterday.
