Grim Anniversary of BBC STORY -- ALL states are going RED

US soldier weeps near body of comrade
killed in a mortar attack near Mosul
in December 2004



US death toll in Iraq hits 2,000
Wednesday, 26 October 2005,

President Bush said more sacrifices would need to be made.
Hundreds of protests and vigils are being held across the US
to mark the 2,000th military death in Iraq.

In Washington, the Senate held a minute of silence,
and the names of the dead were read out on the floor
of the House of Representatives.

President George W Bush has warned Americans
to brace themselves for more casualties, saying
no-one should underestimate the difficulties ahead.
Unofficial estimates put Iraqi civilian deaths
since the war at about 25,000.

According to the Washington Post the bell has now tolled over THREE-THOUSAND times for our troops. To be exact, that site, which honors our dead with pictures, claims that the count is at 3,102. So many Iraqis have fallen, no one can even measure the deaths. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/fallen/page5/

NOW, HERE'S THE PROOF EVERY STATE IS GOING RED:
As you view these faces, think of their friends and families. Realize that no number can truly measure the loss.
