A resolution introduced Wednesday in the House of Representatives seeks Presidential honors for two film makers and a journalist who were killed in Afghanistan. The resolution asks that the White House award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to film makers Lee Shapiro and Jim Lindel, who were killed in the war-torn country last year while shooting an independent film. The other nominated recipient was Charles Thornton, a medical reporter for the Arizona Republic who was killed in Afghanistan in 1985.
