Soilder Deaths Since 2003

I found an incredibly heart wrenching graphic on NYTimes.com about the U.S. casualties in Iraq since the beginning of the war in March 2003. You can find the graphic here.

It has the picture of every soilder killed from March 2003 till January 2005. You can see their age, where they were from and their branch of service.

I'm not going to put my political spin on this here, but it's the first real graphic of the war that has really brought it home for me. (I'll leave you to develop your own opinion on it all) Seeing people my age and younger that are no longer walking among us because of this conflict. I'm so thankful for their service to the United States.
