Take the time to read .The more of us that do the more of them that will be remembered.
Wow.. good link LOM.
I didnt know so many people from my area died...
sad, I wish we didnt have to go to war.
Why cant we live in peace, why cant we understand each other and accept our diffrences? Why does money, and power have to play such a role in society? Why is love more feared then hate?

First I just noticed names and ages.
Then I noticed how they were killed.
Then I noticed where they were from.
Then I had to go back and look at the names aagin and see if anyone I knew was in the group. In the last few years several friends of mine have joined the army to fight abroad.
After 9/11 I understood people joining up. But the last 2 years? I talked to them all to make sure they werent doing it for the wrong reason, but they all felt like it was what they were supposed to do.
And I haven't heard from any of them, so a list like that made me worry, and go over it, and worry again.
I wonder how they are.

this is CNN's list:
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties/
that's the list i was using to get into contact with the families of the people who lost soldiers. I'd look up last name and hometown hoping to get a number and i'd call them up telling them i'm sorry for their loss... i got a hold of 8 families... one woman which i still talk to periodically who opposed the UN resolution long before the war even started... and she has had patriot act surveillance up her ass for the past year or 2 for no reason at all... only because she's a big threat to speak out... and she told me how the articles about her son portrayed him completely wrong, like she told me one article said that he knew it was his destiny and he knew he wasnt coming back... she told me "that's bullshit, he wasnt thinkin about that, he was thinkin about getting home to his wife and having a few beers." why do they have to lie about our dead soldeirs :/
