AirmanMom Needs YOUR Help!!!!!

I woke this morning to see the front page of the Washington Post... This newspaper chose to feature a fire in London, a story about StingBugs and a Maryland coupon instructor on the front page. As I thumbed through the paper, finally on page A8 was a story of our Fallen. The deadliest incident in this ten year war, slips to the back of the paper within just a couple days!

A8


As though hearing of this tragedy was not heart sickening enough...let's rub a little salt in this open wound and push away the fact those killed have faces.

So here is where I am pleading for your help. Yes, I am pleading. It is my goal to post the face of every warrior who paid the ultimate price on Saturday. As you find the name, the face, the story of our Fallen...please leave a comment and I will contact you.

Our Heroes may rate A8 in the Washington Post, but they will receive all the love and respect they deserve here at AirmanMom's! Thank you so very much!

One more thing... when all the names and faces have been gathered into one post, please share on your blog.

May Almighty God Bless our Fallen.
May Almighty God comfort their families.

    Yep that's how it is. When I was at the 2nd Battle of Fallujah, nobody back home even knew about it...a few years later some learned about it from the History Channel.
    It's too messy and sad, so let's put it on Page 8A...
