In Memory of the Fallen.....

If you would personally like to look over the names of the fallen in the current conflict, a man I know here in Portland, "Q" - a Viet Vet, has documented every single casualty, the circumstances and location and personally attended every single military funeral here on the west coast and photographed them so their memory is not forgotten.

He has put them all on his webpage http://www.iraqwarheroes.org/ and http://www.afghanistanwarheroes.org/.  It is currently the only collection of all our war casualties in the current conflict. 

Q's full time occupation is documenting the current conflicts and the fallen and his project only continues with the help of donations.  If you would like to help support the effort to remember those who've fallen, you can click on Q's site here: www.iraqwarheroes.org/help/

I've been to Willamette National Cemetery in Portland and the section dedicated to the Oregon troops who have fallen is very large and filled with fresh graves. Our governor, though we disagree politically in every aspect, is a veteran himself and he has personally attended every single Oregon Military funeral while he's been governor and met with the families.
