While the news focus has been on VT, these are the names of the young folks who died in Iraq last week, their families deserve as much prayer, and recognition, as anyone else.

Pfc. Richard P. Langenbrunner

1st Lt. Shaun M. Blue

Lance Cpl. Daniel R. Scherry

Lance Cpl. Jesse D. Delatorre

Pfc. Lucas V. Starcevich

Pfc. Aaron M. Genevie

Sgt. Mario K. De Leon

Pfc. Steven J. Walberg

Their death wasn't sensational, wasn't a worthy news item, didn't cause anyone to talk. But these young men last week gave the ultimate sacrifice. They are worthy of note. Most of them were United States Marines. ooo ahh

Bro. John, I am sure that people have not forgotten and it is good of you to mention their names here.

It's just that VT is a killing here and of such a magnitude that it has everyone's attention, and rightly so.

But it surely doesn't mean we have forgotten the sacrifice of the men and women in Iraq and Afganistan.

Again, it is wonderful that you posted their names here...:tiphat

The news was all about one whacko with a gun. Those boys died stopping 10,000 wackos with guns, from coming here.

That thing was awful, and it merited attention, but sometime somethings eclipse other things that need remembering.

Agreed...I do agree that we should remember...on ABC every Sunday morning, George Stephanopoulos always lists the names of those killed the previous week, and I'm sure many others do also.

That because George is one of the good guys. Thanks for the reminder.

It was in Virginia VA not Vermont VT. :D

It's a sad day when men who give their lives for this country are forgotten and a sicko evil coward gets the front page.

OP, they are NOT forgotten, but I do agree that Cho's 'manifesto' should not have been broadcast. Make mention that he sent it to show it was a premeditated act, but to broadcast it gives him the posthumous recognition he wanted...MHO...:tiphat

Thank you Bro Atkinson for yet another reminder of what should be on our prayer lists- The Troops.

JA,

The sad thing about honoring our fallen Marines and Soldiers is that the pacifists turn it around and try to use the emotions to oppose conflict.

I pray for the families every time I hear a fallen soldier or Marine's name. I lived with the fear of having that knock on my door for two different seven month deployments of my son to the Al Anbar province (Fallujah & Ramadi) so I can imagine how horrible that must be.

Loss of innocent lives is always tragic wheter here or abroad.
I appreciate those fighting for freedom in IRAQ.
I'm also saddened for those who lose loved ones at VT.
