There are three more added today and two more confirmed even though they have not added the names of the confirmed yet, nor has the DOD added the three new unconfirmed to the list. Eight deaths of Americans in the first three days of February is not a good sign. Surge on, George!

Amazing Grace..........

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that Grace appear,
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and pares,
We have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And Grace will lead me home.(Lead me home!)

The Lord hast promised good to me,
His word my hope secures!
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

We are looking at yet another two additions to the list today. Remember on this day of Super Bowl partying and celebration to take a moment to remember these 3097 Americans and their families as well as the 23,000+ who have been injured. Please do not forget the sacrifice that they have given while we continue to live our daily lives as if there is really nothing going on in the middle-east.

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace--that where there is hatred, I may bring love--that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness--that where there is discord, I may bring harmony--that where there is error, I may bring truth--that where there is doubt, I may bring faith--that where there is despair, I may bring hope--that where there are shadows, I may bring light--that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted--to understand, than to be understood--to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"come in," she said,
"i'll give you shelter from the storm."

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

There have now been 23,417 Americans injured in Iraq with 13020 of them returned to duty within 72 hours and 10397 being held off duty for at least three days. I assume these are all combat injuries since the DOD has begun to not post new noncombat injuries since they see that as "confusing" to those of us who are interested in such information. As far as I am concerned, anyone injured or contracting a disease in Iraq is a casualty of the war as they would not have fallen victim to either of these had they not been deployed as a member of our armed services.

This USA Today site gives a listing of those killed in the war and posts some of their pictures as well as some other useful information.

They say ev'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So i remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

Geez, its only the 9th! Are we seeing phase 2, where the bodies come so quickly the cargo planes are full of them?

I couldn't believe it myself when I counted them up. We are averaging almost twice as many casualties per day this month than during the month of January. None of us hope that trend continues for any length of time. We have added three more today with a couple of the prior listings being confirmed now. I counted again just to make sure that I didn't screw it up and since there are now three additional listings, we are up to 37 so far this month, and that does not include any deaths from Feb. 10th yet.

One more listing today, although I read on a couple of other sites that there were several more that will be added later I am sure. This is one drumbeat that will not be missed when it is gone!

Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound

Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone

Sorry I haven't been able to get back here for a couple of days due to a snag in the home remodel that we are currently undertaking. At any rate, there has been one more name added since my last visit and a confirmation of one name from the previous listing. Remember these 3132 Americans who have fallen this weekend. I am off to Mass in a couple of minutes and you can bet they will be in my prayers.

There have also been eight more Americans killed in Afghanistan today as a result of two helicopter crashes(?) in that country. Things are heating up again in Afghanistan after a long lull in either deaths or injuries. Maybe the spring offensive has begun? At any rate there have now been 368 Americans killed and 1112 injured to this point in Afghanistan. More on the helicopter crashes here.

Well folks we have four new additions today and a couple of confirmations. There have been way too many new additions to the list this month and I do not want to contemplate how many more there will be before this "short" month is over. God bless them and their families.

Fallen Angel
Casts a shadow up against the sun
If my eyes could see
The spirit of the chosen one

In my dream the pipes were playing
In my dream I lost a friend
Come down Gabriel and blow your horn
'Cause some day we will meet again

There is yet another listing made today of an American killed in Iraq and some confirmations as well. I ask that we all remember these on a daily basis so that none of their sacrifices or their family's losses shall be forgotten.

The drumbeat of death continues today as one more listing is added and none of the existing pending listings are confirmed. How many says does this make now since we were told that the mission was "accomplished" back on the deck of that aircraft carrier?

Two more names added to the list today with more confirmations. It breaks my heart every time I have to add more to the list, but somebody has got to keep this tribute going. Our forces do not deserve to die and have nobody remember.

Sixty-seven dead Americans so far during February. This is not the kind of "surge" that I wanted to see, and I am sure I am not alone in that sentiment.

"there must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"there's too much confusion, i can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

VERY SAD
And here the conservatives still think this is all okay...just sick....

There have been 23, 677 Americans injured in Iraq, 13168 of which were returned to duty within 72 hours and 10509 who were held off duty for at least three days. Remember them, their families, and the families of the 3154 Americans who have been killed in Iraq as you go about your business this weekend.

There has also been another death of an American in Afghanistan, bringing the total dead in that theater of operations to 370. http://www.defenselink.mil/Releases/Releas...ReleaseID=10551
