a LynnTheDem and frictionlessO appreciation thread
LynnTheDem and frictionlessO are part of the team that keeps the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count web site current.

Link: http://icasualties.org/oif/

They do this seven days a week, 365 (366 in a leap year) days a year. The site is awesome, and is well worth your time to explore.

I check this site at least three or four times a day, and it breaks my heart every time. I cannot imagine gathering, collating, and posting this bad news day after day. I can only imagine what this costs them on a personal level. Their devotion to the cause cannot be understated.

If you feel the same way as I do, a kick and a nominate to this thread would be a small token of appreciation for their efforts.

2. I didn't realize that this was their site. I used to go there early on in
the war to find out the Truth. It became too heartbreaking to me. Kudos to Lynn and Frictionless. Thank you for this heroic work. Nominating. :)

12. Ditto That!
LynntheDem has been a wealth of information - and I must say - I would add SeemslikeaDream to the mix too - as well as H20Man - we're very blessed here at DU!

14. They both are great contributors to our cause!
Not only do they perform the monumental tasks described by the unhappy Camper, they contribute insightful commentary to many threads. They also start a lot of consequential and thought provoking topics. Thanx for all you both do for our Country, you are true patriots!

in solidarity,
Jack

LynnTheDem can neutralize the most rabid rightwingnut with one hand tied behind her back! She is my hero.

P.S. And her use of gigantic fonts borders on artistic!

ON EDIT: Thought of more good things to say.

Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

24. Thanks, everyone!
Pat & Michael own the ICCC site; I'm just a little cheezie, they're the Big Cheezies. ;)

And yes it really does take a large toll on our health & sanity to search & sort and keep track of dead after dead after dead. All for a pack of lies. :(

But we will not let them lie dead and forgotten.

27. A big thank you for the work you do.
and a small personal note:

Every morning before my son went to school last year, I checked the site for the latest news and casualty numbers so he would have them when confronted for his anti-war stance.

Just one 17 year-old armed with the grim reality. Day after day. You became a part of our lives.

I can't imagine the toll it takes to provide the service, and sure as hell wish it wasn't needed. But wanted to let you know it's appreciated.

Through the tears, the grief, the frustration and the anger, thank you.

:( :grouphug: :loveya:

And the truth will come

And the change will come...

39. Hey all! Thank you!! As Lynn said earlier we're the small cheezes but I'm
an even smaller cheeze and the baby on the team. It is a bit rough doing this kind of research especially in the dreaming regurgitations of the live long day full of sadness and death.

They must be counted though... every last one of them.
