Memorial Month

Via Steve ’n’ Jen’s joint, the News Blog. They have the whole list from the first man dead in this endless war (Justin W. Pollard, 21, Army Specialist, Dec 30, 2003.)

It’s a very long list though and I decided to hold it to just those who have died so far in this very month we still are in. The list will be longer before the month is over, and some days after that as more names are confirmed.

May they all find their way to the Summerlands. May their friends and their families find peace. Goddess grant grace and healing to the wounded and maimed, of body and mind, as well.

And now to the dead, just for the month of May, year of the common era the 2007th, and of the Constitution of the United States of America the 220th:
