Important names we never hear

What angers and saddens me the most is that as of Sept. 4, 4,340 American servicemen and women have been killed in Iraq since the war began in 2003, and 15 were killed in June alone. The war in Afghanistan has claimed 816 American soldiers’ lives since 2001. I challenge any of us to name one of them.
