with no television coverage

4. I saw that pic here a couple weeks ago...

...the caption at that time said it was a woman who had lost her fiancee.

6. That photo made the frontpage of the NYTimes on the Thursday after MemDay

It was below the fold.

8. DUer troubleinwinter posted an altered image of the NYT that Thursday

That's what should have been in the paper!

The photos have traded placement and the one of the mourning fiancee was enlarged somewhat.
