USA Soldiers
Today we reached the sad milestone of 2,000 US soldiers killed in Iraq.
It's now been nearly two and a half years since President Bush declared
"Mission Accomplished". It took 18 months to reach 1,000 dead, but just
14 months to reach 2,000.
At a time when reporters are getting
tired of reporting on the death and destruction in Iraq, it's up to us
to help make sure that the human cost of this war is recognized, so
those that have made the 'ultimate sacrifice' won't have been forgotten.
The death of 2000 U.S. soldiers is an occasion of profound loss for our nation.
I hope you will take time to remember in your own private way.
