Oh no! I hope that the sacrifice made by Justin Allen is not a personal tragedy for you.

An interesting read about some of the lives lost in service to our country ..

The Unknown Soldiers

... about valiant U.S. troops who do their duty - largely without media attention or fanfare - and how a nation at war cannot afford to stand idly by.

And an interesting list of Veteran candidates across the country:

Welcome to VFF-PAC's [edit - VFF=Veterans for Freedom] main effort for 2010--'Operation 10-in-10'. We've done our research. Made the phone calls. Collected the questionnaires. Checked the polls...and ignored some of them. The result is this list, which represents the 10 Congressional races in America where we believe electing an Iraq and/or Afghanistan veteran will have the largest impact on strengthening U.S. national security policy.

All 10 are Iraq and/or Afghanistan veterans. All 10 have proven to be strong, viable candidates. All 10 are challengers in competitive House races. And, most importantly, all 10 believe in victory on the battlefield. Now, our job is to make sure that all 10 of win in November!
