I had never heard about "last roll call" before, thank you for introducing me. Sounds like a heart wrenchingly effective way to honor the dead by "emphasizes their absence". I had/have similar feelings regarding the Bin Ladin assassination. I find it hard to celebrate killing but I like the author (you?), I understand the rabid dog analogy.
