Again, thank you.
This loss, this continuing loss, disturbs me. There is no recognition that today, thousands of men and women are putting their lives on the line to defend the American ideal. We don't hear about that American ideal on news reports, in commentary, or, more sadly, from our neighbors.
Thank you for posting this. I don't have a real bell, but with every name I imagine a bell being tolled.

Thanks for your encouragement, TMI.
We don't see anyone in the media doing this. Remember when there used to be a moment of silence and names of the dead posted on screen on national news broadcasts for those killed during the Bush years? No more. One can only speculate why.
It's my small way to honor these men (each with a vibrant life given to defend us) and their families.
