Remembering the Nation’s Roll Call of Honored Dead

As the old year ends and a new one gets set to begin, Auld Lang Zyne reminiscences begin and end with the recalling to mind of the sacrifice of the nation’s warriors in the war on terrorism. Whether in Iraq, Afghanistan, the hills of Pakistan, Kuwait, the jungles of the Philippines, the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf, or some unnamed secret place, American men and women have been paying the high price of striving for freedom and security in a violent world.

God bless all of them and their families.

On a tatical note, I counted 5 Lt. Col. killed. That's a lot of leadership killed, given the total numbers.

I also remember a General killed a few months ago, but he was not mentioned.

Am I wrong? Wasn't a US General killed in the Green Zone?

Not to quible, but it seems that many of these deaths non-combat related (although the soldier is on duty). If so, why not include soldiers who died in America on duty? At Ft. Bragg, right across from the barracks for the 82nd Airborne, there is a big sign which accounts for the time from the last airborne training death - it is usually never older than 1-2 weeks.
