TULSA —

A U.S. Army soldier from Broken Arrow who was recovering from wounds suffered
in a 2004 roadside bombing in Iraq has died, according to his family.
Army Staff Sgt. Jack D. Richards, 39, died in North Carolina, where he was on
medical leave and receiving treatment at Fort Bragg, said his sister, Pam Schultz
of Broken Arrow.

Richards nearly lost a leg when a roadside bomb exploded near his Humvee in 2004
while he was serving in Iraq. "They've been trying to repair him for three years,
and they were still in the process when we lost him,” Schultz told the Tulsa World.

A Westfield Guardsman who was wounded in action in Iraq has died, state officials announced today.

Officials said Indiana Army National Guard Sgt. Gerald J. Cassidy, 32, died at Ft. Knox, Ky.,
while assigned to the Wounded Warrior Transition Program. He was wounded during unspecified
combat operations and was returned to the states in April after a year of duty. Prior to his
transfer to the medical recovery program in Kentucky, the Indiana Guardsman had served in Iraq
with a combat team from the Minnesota National Guard.

“Sgt. Cassidy represents citizen-soldiers everywhere who sacrifice family and career to serve
their state and nation,” said the Indiana Guard’s leader, Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger.

1. 3,810 American lives lost for Bush's lie.

Bush lied America into war.

The war's been good for Wall Street, Carlyle and Bush's Big Oil cronies.

It's been a disaster for the world and a genocide of the Iraqi people, the first holocaust of the 21st century.

2. Could someone explain to me the counts?

Rep. Walter Jones (R) NC has signed 6700 condolence letters to families who have lost someone in Iraq. How does this square?

3. What do you mean?

4. The death counts never are congruent.

The ones on TV are always stuck under 4,000 but many more have died.
