In memory of the fallen

Continuing the recent tradition of posting the names of those killed while serving in Iraq, an anonymous student writes:

Here is a list of the U.S. casualties in Iraq since the last post around one week ago. Please post these as their bravery cannot be denied; even by the harshest critics of the conflict. I encourage Wesleyan to think if one of the following was a family member; some undoubtedly have children who will never know their parent because of a war they had no choice to be a part of. Keep in mind, the one thing these soldiers all believe in is a hope for a better, peaceful and safe Iraq.
