Kind of a downer post...

You have to have Google Earth 5.0 to use this. Every soldier who has died in Iraq and Afghanistan is mapped, both their hometown and where they died.

Screw the politics in this case (not something I usually say). These people deserve to be remembered.

And yes, there was one young man from my small hometown.

And I'm in tears, although I have no idea who he is, and haven't been in Massachusetts for 21 years. It just doesn't seem right that someone from Norfolk, MA should have died in Iraq.

Or that anyone should.

Take care
Curt
