1,444 American Soldier's Lost in Iraq to-date!
As we go through our day - how many times do we think of what is happening in the world? Do we think about or discuss what is happening outside of these United States? We are so fortunate to live in freedom and yet, some of us don't understand the price that is paid daily with the injury and loss of our soldiers over seas. The most depressing but telling site on the internet -->>> the Iraq Coalition Casualties page. It is not for the faint of heart - but it definitely paints a very grim picture for our troops. Not only does it list casualities - but shows wounded and then tells poignant stories about these brave - and lost souls.
The number of American solders dead at 1,444.
The total number of Coalition dead stands at 1,615.
141 soldiers died in November 2004
77 died in December 2004
127 died in January 2005
4 have died so far in February 2005
A variety of reports have listed more than 20,000 U.S. troops getting evacuated for 'medical issues' in the last two years.
Take time today and put a face on these soldiers lives - get to know these young men and women who have been taken from us - most of them because of not having adequate protection - from lack of armor - body and vehicle.
Write your congressman and tell them we want out - save a life today by taking action.
