    Thank you, Mike for posting his photo and keeping us aware of these tragic losses.

  • I often wonder if I should do them all. Usually, I just pick up the photos off the wires and that usually equates to one or two a week.

  • I appreciate seeing them. It shows us that there are real people with grieving families...and we should be aware of them. Oh...how I wish this weren't happening.

  • "real people"

    I think that's what gets me the most.

    Amidst all the "supporting the troops" and honoring them, and praising their service, I think we've removed from them their humanity.
