Comprehensive "war dead" site..
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 06:13 PM by SoCalDem
This one can list by state, date,branch of service etc.. click on the name for a bio.

25 killed who were 40 or over.. :(

Too many 18-20 too :(

I guess there is NO "appropriate age" to have your country get you killed :(

1. Yeah, I guess Iraq ain't Tahiti...
SoCal, I don't know if you're aware of this site or not. It too lists details of the dead, as well as keeping count since "flyboy", the son's deaths, and "bring 'em on".
I was wondering...
Would you make a new post about adopting a soldier? Many may have missed it, and I suspect many would be more than happy to 'support the troops' in a meaningful way.
Anyway, welcome home...

2. Thanks for the welcome home..
I do plan on a new adopt-a-soldier thread.. I wanted to do one where the ones who sent/send stuff can weigh in and tell about the experience & what is has meant to them.. maybe share pictures of snippets of letters they got.. I wanted to show Mary (Jimmy's Mom) how much we all enjoy helping her kid and his friends get through this mess:)

Maybe Monday I will start one :)

3. They put a lot of work into this site. Nice job to help stop Bush's
insanity!

If I had the money I'd give it to this guy to upgrade his site to show a picture.

Then add all the wounded, crippled, amputees, blinded, deaf(not from taking Limbaugh hard drugs but from loud explosions.)

If the link he has to CNN doesn't make you cry then you're a sick person! It's the first time I've clicked on CNN for more than 2 years but it's worth the click:

6. go to Washington Post's "Ward 57" special section
It's all about the injured ones and the time they have re-habbing.:(

There are/were videos as well.

7. Comment about your sig pics. I like your idea. Why shouldn't we

5. SoCalDem, this is the best site I've seen.
As you may know, I reference it often. Whoever is doing it is putting up local articles whenever they become available. There is a lot more information in the local articles than in the Centcom releases.
