"One hundred and sixty-eight have paid the ultimate price over the last four years so the Iraqi people could enter a new dawn of democracy"

Hopefully the Iraqi people will remember and honor the countless sacrifices made on their behalf by good people from all over the world.

On a technical note, there's a lot more than 168 pictures there, so they must have repeated them.

Also, it looks like they majorly tweaked the color values for the mosaic, which misses the whole point of this method.

In fact it's almost like they just threw an opaque layer down over the background. I dare say that's a completely fake way to reproduce the technique... Perhaps "the real way" is proprietary.

Here’s to Britain's volunteer Army heroes. Sometimes their leadership left something to be desired ( I'm not speaking here about former PM Blair) but the British soldier and his Gurkha mates are world class soldiers.

As British officers here love to point out, Basra now has a murder rate half that of Washington DC. It’s not perfect yet. But no matter what the rent-a-quotes tell you, it HAS been a good job, a worthwhile one. The rest is down to the Iraqi people — it’s their country after all.

Dittos to that! God bless these brave troops. We're lucky to have them as allies.

Thanks for posting this mate. Its good to know that the sacrifices of our armed forces are still appreciated by some in the US. Britain is still with you in the South.
