[The night before the
burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps,
killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep
next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the
sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer
and played songs that reminded her of "Cat", and one of the Marines
asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think
it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it" she said. "I think
that's what he would have wanted".]
