Below are the photos of the eight who have been lost in just the past four weeks. I posted a thread on the first crash in Afghanistan and only eight people stopped by to remember them. That is why I am pushing this so hard.

We ought to pay respects to them and their families for the sacrifice they made for us. I want everyone to at least know their names.

Thank you all who stopped by and pinged your friends.

May these brave soldiers rest in peace.
