Faces of the fallen

Last year in May, Ted Koppel of Nightline on ABC read out names of 721 US soldiers that died in Iraq. During the following 14 months, about 1100 more names were added to that list. Washington Post website lists all the 1816 US soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq with photos and a short description. The number 1816 doesn't mean much unless you look through pages after pages of photographs of real people.
