There are no new additions so far today, although I think I read that at least one more American died in Iraq yesterday. There have been three more confirmed, leaving only Ethan Biggers as unconfirmed at this time.

There has been one more fatality in Afghanistan today. This occurred when an explosion was set off outside the building where VP Dick Cheney was meeting. There were 19 killed, including one American. No word on how many injuries there were. There also has not been an update on injuries in Afghanistan since December 2 of last year, so that is way overdue. I will post the name of the American killed when it becomes available. This brings the total number of American dead in Afghanistan to 371.

One new listing and one new confirmation today. That makes 77 Americans killed Iraq so far Yhis month.All fatalities with active DOD links have been confirmed by The Department of Defense.

Three more have died and three more have been confirmed by the DOD. All fatalities with active DOD links have been confirmed by The Department of Defense. By my count there were 79 Americans killed in Iraq last month and five listed by the DOD so far this month. As I keep repeating, be sure to remember these 3169 in your reflections and prayers as you go about your business this weekend.

There have now been 23,785 Americans injured in Iraq with 13,250 being returned to duty within 72 hours and 10,535 being held off duty for at least three days. In addition there have been 6,835 Americans injured as the result of nonhostile causes. There have also been 18,704 Americans who have contracted diseases in Iraq and required air transport as a result. This gives us a total of 49,25 Americans who have been adversely affected by the war in Iraq. Many of those held off duty for over three days and a significant portion of those who have contracted diseases will suffer line-long sequelae as a result. Of course, this does not count the thousands who are now dealing with various stages and types of mental distresses as a result of their service in Iraq. Remember these along with those who have died in Iraq in your reflections and prayers.

New day, new listing. Unfortuantely, it would be a new day without checking the DOD site and finding at least one new listing. There also have not been any new confirmations today. I will continue to remember these departed and their families during my daily reflections and prayers. Won't you?

I had to shake my head and rub my eyes this morning when I opened the DOD site and saw that there had been 12 more deaths of Americans in Iraq over the last 24 hours. Things are far from getting better in Iraq these days, and the surge isn't even at full strength yet. Now Bush is reiterating that he is "willing" to send thousands more Americans to Afghanistan to fight the resurgence of the Taleban and their anticipated offensive this spring. If I could speak to him face to face, I would ask him point blank just where he was going to find thousands more American forces to send to Afghanistan. This man has absolutely no concept of how things operate in the real world!

Dammit, Aleman that list keeps getting bigger not smaller. The Dems have to stop this train wreck any way they can. No more BS excuses.

If I had my way I would make it a felony to add another name to this list, although I know that is not possible. Unfortunately, there are three more to add today and one more confirmation. Updating this list is one of my regular daily routines that I could very well do without!

There have also been 23,924 Americans injured in Iraq as of the last injury update with 13297 of them returned to duty within 72 hours and 10627 held off duty for three days or longer. As I have mentioned previously, a large percentage of those held off duty for three days end up with permanent disabilities with many of them going through the disability determination process at Walter Reed Medical Center. For the record, 92 Americans were held off duty for 72 hours or longer last month so a fairly large number of those will end up in DC. Hopefully building 18 has been shut down, but that doesn't necessarily mean that accommodations in other billeting areas are all that much better.

Sorry that I haven't been able to update this for a couple of days. There hvae been five new casualties listed on the DOD site since Sunday with one of them being confirmed as being a casualty of action in Iraq. May all 3195 rest in peace and their families find healing of spirit.

Two more listed as having been killed in Iraq today with a couple more confirmations as well. In spite of having more Americans patrolling Baghdad and surrounding areas, there seems to have been no slowing in the number of dead bodies found in the capital and there are still many bombings and shootings daily. I sure hope that something begins to change soon. I am tiring of adding listings every day.

Faux (s)noose and the White House have been announcing that the surge is working because American casualties have been lower over the last two weeks than the previous two weeks. With this latest group of casualties, I think that they should be eating some crow and apologizing to the families of these latest Americans who have died.

There is an update today to the DOD injuries list for Iraq. There have now been 24,042 Americans injured in Iraq with 13357 returned to duty within 72 hours and 10685 being held off duty for at least three days. I keep beating the drum that a high percentage of those who have off duty for three days or longer end up with permanent disabilities. So far this month there have been 150 Americans injured in Iraq that fall into that category. Remember these veterans and their families, many of whom will have a very hard time helping them to make the adjustments that will become a part of their daily lives.

"permanent disabilities

For what?

God let us pray for all..
Who survive maimed and hurt..
..and bless those innocents who have been killed
........for what?

with God's grace, ... we stop for a moment and pray..................

There is another listing and several confirmations today. It is a beautiful afternoon here in the Inland Northwest, as I am sure is is in many other areas of the country at this time. Let us remember these who have passed and their families as we begin to enjoy the encroaching spring.

Thanks for posting this K9Gal. This is quite a story and shows just how dangerous this surge is proving to be for many of our fine military men and women. I heard the "journalists" on Fox&Friends this morning state how well things were going as there were "only" six Americans killed in Iraq in the last 48 hours. It just goes to show how much they really support our forces!

Two more listings were made today with no confirmations. I don't know how much longer I can keep up posting these before my spirit breaks. Please remember the sacrices that these brave Americans have made so that many other Americans can feel free to tell us how wrong we are in our feelings about this war.

There have now been 24,187 Americans injured as a result of hostile activity in Iraq. There have been 13415 injured and returned to duty within 72 hours while 10772 were held off duty for at least three days. During the last week 58 Americans were returned to duty within 72 hours while 87 were held off duty for at least three days.

I have fallen down on the job of updating this thread a couple of times lately due to trying to get a remodeling project at home wrapped up. Not a valid excuse when we are comparing electrical, plumbing, and painting to the loss of lives is it? At any rate, there have been five more listings and a few more confirmations made. Whenever I look at this list I have a vision of military officers in dress blues/whites showing up at a front door and the disbelief and horror that must be brought on by the news that they bring. I don't know what my reaction would be and I don't ever want to find out. My sincerest sympanthies reside with each and every member of the 3228 families that have had to undergo this unpleasant experience.

Two days since I last checked in and two more deaths listed with no more confirmations made. One death a day is much better than what we had seen recently, but that is still too many to suit me. Remember to remember these fallen as well as the injured and their families in your daily prayers and reflections as you go about your normal Sunday activities.

Sometimes I forget to pray,
Cause I get self centered some days.

These deaths for me??
....are so sad....so
....I pray......

"Lord, I ask you to watch over those, and the families of those who have died in this war...please."

....sun

Another five Americans added to the list today, which is way too many for any of us. I long for the day that we can put this list away and let it slip off into oblivion.

There have now been 24,314 Americans injured in Iraq, 13473 of whom were returned to duty within three days and 10841 who were held off duty for at least three days. During the last week there were 127 Americans injured with 58 returned to duty within 72 hours and 69 held off duty for at least three days. In the past there have been more Americans returned to duty after a short recuperative period than there were being held off duty for extended periods. Over the last month that trend has been reversed. I hope that is not becoming a new trend, but only time will tell.

There has been one new addition today with all deaths in Iraq now confirmed to have been as the result of hostile action.

Four more listings have been added since the last time I updated this list. It breaks my spirit whenever I have to share the deaths of yet more Americans in Iraq. This mission needs to be ended as quickly as possible and the fine men and women serving there should be broght home as soon as possible.

There have three more listings of deaths in Afghanistan by the DOD but the casualty site has only listed one more. The official listing stands at 376 while it was 375 before these three were added. The number of injured in Afghanistan has not been updated since December2, 2006. I would really like to know what is actually happening in the other war on terror.

There have been another three listings made with a couple of confirmations. Please remember these in your daily reflections as well as saying a prayer that no more Americans be added to this list. Enough is enough!
