Thanks Paul.
I put these DoD Casualty Reports up because for some reason I feel it to be my duty to do so. Yes… There are other ways to do this like make one link that will take you to a page full of names of the fallen but that’s not what it’s all about now is it? It’s not about numbers… a list of names… It’s about people-- People who just died for you and me......
