The Fallen (death toll of U.S. forces in Iraq reached 282 this week)

The Fallen is the article's title. I added on because it really gave no indication of what the little news bite was about.

One hundred forty-four of these deaths have occurred since President Bush declared the end of major combat on May 1. The Washington Post published galleries of the fallen on April 13, May 26 and July 6; this is the latest update as of Aug. 31.
