2007 and Remembering All of Our Troops

With the new year comes the hope and prayers that we should all have for all our fighting men and woman in service to our nation. Many have given the ultimate sacrifice for America and we should never forget them. I found this great piece over at The New York Times honoring all that have gone on. It’s based on a pixel by pixel format to form the face of one of our military service members that lost their life since the beginning of the war in Iraq. With the selection of any given pixel however the overall picture changes to the person that was lost. It tells you who they were and where they were from. It touched me in the fact that most military folks never look at them selves as an individual, they are a part of a unit. Check it out at the link provided below. Pass it on to your friends and family.

God bless them all and may they rest in peace. My own personal thoughts and prayers go out to all the families left behind from a very appreciative American citizen.
