And I bet 99% of Americans don't even know ONE of their names!

I bet 99% of Americans could not tell you the number killed in December!

I know people here will say that the Soldiers knew the risk, but we still should be paying A LOT more attention to the deaths from an unjust war.

The Obama speech in AZ today is a great idea. I wish he had one a month for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Here is the list so far in January 2011....

2. Those who died in Iraq must be made up.
Obama told us combat operations stopped there last summer.

5. excellent point..
I watch a lot of news and they rarely mention OUR wars. I still wish we'd see the caskets arriving home - but I guess they still want to hide that image from us. We can't handle that image. It might make us think.
