Thanks for putting the pics up.
For many, they are just faceless names that mean nothing.


Form up soldiers, move out.
Rest in peace where the angels keep.

Thank you, thank you, Archy. My prayers go out for those brave young men and their families. Such sad news whenever we lose one warrior, let alone three!

Thank you for the pictures, Joe is my wifes grandson. Unfortunately a really good photo of Spc. Wesley has not been found yet.

Since the story has been out this morning some of the TV stations haven't had pictures, and some have only had one or two here in Oregon.

Bless you all and please remember all of the continueing casualties who serve our nation so proudly and their families in their losses.
