for the three MIA soldiers. She's filing plenty of reports; both on the search and about the guys. they are all cross-linked so I'll just post one -
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/05/18/damon.missingsoldiers/index.htmlExcerpts from article, plus photolinks from my website:
Sgt. 1st Class James D. Connell Jr., 40, of Lake City, Tennessee, was among those killed. "Connell was a father of four.?
• Pfc. Christopher Murphy was a 21-year-old assistant gunner from Gladys, Virginia. "Like his squad leader said, he died the death of an Irishman. The enemy could not physically restrain him, even though he had shrapnel wounds all over his body. He wrestled them, so they shot him," Spring-Glace says.
Murphy's body was found a short distance from the attack. "He was a 'Star Wars' enthusiast. He wore glasses. His glasses were broken, always broken. And when he got angry, his voice would get high-pitched."Murphy:
• Daniel Courneya, 19, was promoted posthumously to a specialist, from a private first class. He was nicknamed "Cornball."
"He had just married his wife, Jennifer, less than a year ago. She had just sent him a baseball cap," Spring-Glace says.Cornball:
• Sgt. Anthony Schober of Reno, Nevada, was a 23-year-old squad leader. His was the last body to be identified. "He was a goofy guy, skinny, with the metabolism of a god," he says, with a sad smile. "When he got back, he was going to a permanent station in Italy."
Schober:
Schober's body was just identified today from DNA.
Of course these four fatalities are getting extra coverage by CNN because of the search for the other three. There have been
eighteen more killed since these four. Each has anecdotes like this - young widows, kids... they get written up in local papers, but generally not covered by CNN or any national outlets. Follow the links on my website - I have 2-3 news links for most, add more daily as the names get released.
