I opened to the obituaries in my local paper today (Cleve Plain Dealer)

On one page were pictures and obituaries of three of the Marines killed last week in Iraq. They were listed in with the rest of the obituaries, it was surreal looking at it.
I am hoping this is not a vision of things to come. To see three young men that were killed in Iraq on one page of the local paper is a bit sickening.

1. They had a memorial service for all the fallen yesterday

I am not that far from cleveland so i get all the cleveland news.
I have a feeling this is sadly just the tip of the iceburg.

2. I haven't gone by the armory yet

I have seen the news reports and it looks like the whole front of the gates are covered with flowers, flag, pictures and other things. I will probably be driving by it this weekend.
