BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Lake View Cemetery is considered an outdoor museum and arboretum. And two very key buildings that people come to visit at Lake View Cemetery are the James A. Garfield Monument and our Wade Memorial Chapel, which was built in memory of Jeptha Wade, who was one of the founders of the Western Union Telegraph Company ... What's interesting with Wade Chapel is the interior was designed totally by the Louis Comfort Tiffany studios. The Garfield Monument was dedicated on Memorial Day 1890 and stands on one of the highest platforms in the city of Cleveland. The president's casket is actually on full display in the lower rotunda.
