See, Honor, Remember

Fallujah in Pictures is a site that has culled media and personal photos from the ongoing battle in Iraq.

The site isn't exactly work-safe, from the standpoint that it is pretty graphic and potentially upsetting. Additionally, it's nothing you'd likely want kids to see.

That said, I felt like it was important to share the link. As the site says, "look at the pictures and make up your own mind. if our cause is just then we should not fear witnessing its cost." Regardless of how you feel about the American presence in Iraq, it's important to look at the faces of those lost (on both sides of the conflict) and realize that they were very real people with real lives outside of the conflict. People loved them. They loved in return. Show them honor by acknowledging both their lives and their deaths.
