War Casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq


Source:  CNN.com
Thanks to the folks at CNN.com for creating an incredible site to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.  While it is actually one website, I have created separate links below to separate the casualties of Afghanistan and Iraq.  When you go to the website through either of the links below, you will be able to get to the LIST and MAP views for both Afghanistan and Iraq.  The Map View is amazing... be sure to check it out. 
U.S. AND COALITION CASUALTIES IN AFGHANISTAN:

This list includes the names of the soldiers, Marines, airmen, and sailors whose deaths have been reported by their nation's government. The list also includes two U.S. Defense Department civilian employees. The troops died serving in the U.S.-led Operation Enduring Freedom or the NATO-led International Security Assistance force in Afghanistan. At least 5,917 U.S. personnel have been wounded in action, according to the Pentagon. In addition to the military deaths, one Jordanian and 11 U.S. intelligence operatives have died in Afghanistan.
