5. Thank you for the remembrance.

"This Week with Nameless" reported that the government announced the names of 24 more this week who died in Iraq. I remember the name of Sgt. David W. Gordon, 23, was listed there.

24 more families and loved ones are mourning this week because of Bush lies. They were heroes but they should have come home with the rest of our troops.
