WE WON THE WAR IN IRAQ

And since there will never be a ticker-tape parade down Fifth Avenue in New York for our troops, it's up to us, the people, to arrange a virtual ticker-tape parade. An online victory celebration.

Saturday, November 22, 2008 is the day of that celebration: Victory in Iraq Day.

Remembering the Fallen

For what little I can do to express my thanks to those who have put themselves in harm's way, I offer this.

Casualty Map By State
Casualty Map in Reverse Chronological Order
Casualty List in Reverse Chronological Order

These Pipes make lists or maps pointing to the home towns of our fallen soldiers, many with pictures, that we may remember them.

I have "stickied" this lower down the page.

Update: Here is a file that can be used with Google Earth. I've tried to get it to work with Google Maps, but to no avail.

Smaller pipe searches seem to work on the fly: Minnesota. If you edit the state abbreviation near the end of the link, you can try other states -- but those with higher numbers have difficulty rendering.

The same could be done to change from oif to oef.

Update: Now working in Google Maps(?)

Update: Success with Google Maps at last.

Update: Rearranged the stickies.
