Sunday, January 9: Honoring Our Dead in Afghanistan

In late December, I went to iCasualties.org and learned that the United States lost 498 military personnel in and around Afghanistan this year.

Below are the names of the men and women we lost. This does not count the 16 Canadian dead, the 103 from the United Kingdom, the ninety-three others who died from around the world in Afghanistan. If I did not note your country, icasualties.org did. You can find your countrymen listed there.

The Americans died at an age somewhere between 18 and 45 years old. I hope you will take a minute to read through these names, listed two or three across. 

Please also remember their families, friends, and comrades who needed them. 
Please remember these men and women who are still with us, still serving. 
Remember the wounded, 
the permanently injured, and their caregivers. Their battles are not done.

I am sorry if this page takes awhile to load, but I am not hiding any of these names after a page break. They are listed from most recent death to January 1, 2010.
