Thank you for those figures, Gretchen. I am teary eyed here, looking at the ages of those young people. The statistics are mind blowing. Families will be without those soldiers on Thanksgiving and Christmas for the first time. The families will never see their loved ones again. It breaks my heart.

Rest In Peace Fallen Soldiers Thank you for protecting us. You saved us, but, unfortunately, you couldn't save yourselves.

I'm honestly getting to the point that I resent high government officials doing anything besides trying to bring these soldiers home asap. I know I shouldn't feel this way but I can't help it. My heart hopes they are working on a plan that will take effect right away. I just hoped I would have seen large amounts of them already home. What is it going to take? Isn't this enough?
