Obama spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday that the president was "disturbed" when he found out the death benefits had been suspended and demanded an immediate solution. "The Fisher House Foundation will provide the families of the fallen with the benefits they so richly deserve," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in a statement, adding that the Pentagon would reimburse the foundation after the shutdown ended. hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_MILITARY_DEATH_BENEFITS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
