BAGHDAD, Iraq - Assailants in Iraq (news - web sites) killed three U.S. servicemen, one in the capital and two in the south of the troubled country, the U.S. command said Saturday.

Two Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit were killed on Friday "as a result of enemy action" in Najaf province, south of the capital, the military said in a statement.

In western Baghdad, an insurgent fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a patrolling U.S. vehicle, killing one soldier, the military said.

The names of those killed were withheld pending notification of next of kin.

This maade the movie Black Hawk Down look like a cakewalk.

Actually, the author made the point that his outfit was only fighting half as long as the guys in BHD (who didn't have Strykers to ride in and Apaches overhead). Still harrowing and amazing.

I lift them up to God - and I lift the hands of love to their families. No life is ever lived in vain, and no death is ever forever.

God bless them. They died for me.

Thank you, Black Veil.

 

Our Father, bless and protect our troops, and comfort their loved ones!
