Coronavirus is big news. But don’t forget about two dead American soldiers in Iraq | Letter to the editor

Re: Two US soldiers killed in Iraq.

Sad that this story merits only a passing mention on Page 7 of the paper. Just below it is a similar sized article about trainers and vets drugging horses, and right next to it is a much larger headline and much longer article, about the apparently way more important story of the passing of actor Max von Sydow.

I understand Coronavirus is getting all the headlines but we need to remember the sacrifices these soldiers and their families are making and not let it get lost or minimized in the daily noise of the news, sports, and weather of the day.
