Well. There are few holidays that make us Americans reflect on our past like July 4th. And I would like for everyone that is on my list to take a min and go to this site and see just what the war has cost. Its a memorial page for the soldiers of the Iraq war. There are ONLY 1319 portraits on it...Faces of the Fallen include portraits of the service men and women who have lost their lives between October 2001 and November 2004. But even at 1319, there where some, that for one reason or another, not there...but the slideshow is a wonderful presentation of our Heroes. I personally have a family member on this slideshow...as many other American families do to. Its a grim reminder of what a war cost and what some gave to make your 4th of July possible. So please....while your enjoying your cookout and parades...take a min and say a pray for those that came home to rest.
TY.
