Fallen Soldiers


Newsweek has put PDF Files of final letters from fallen soldiers on their webpage.

They are actual copies of the original letters, written by soldiers in advance of their death in case they didn't make it through the war.

I read them all this morning and a few brought tears to my eyes, these really put a face on the soldiers and make you think about how very young so many of them are and how much they are sacrificing by what they leave behind.

If anyone's interested in checking them out you can find them here...

At the end of the News Hour on PBS, they also do [# of soldier} more in silence, where they don't play any music or anything, they just show pictures of soldiers that have passed away. It's so sad.
