Casualties of War

The war in Iraq just now came close to my world. Last night I received news that Army Sgt. Timothy M. Smith, was killed in Iraq by an IED. This news comes after the recent milestone of 4,000 coalition casualties in Iraq. This was the first person that I knew personally that was killed in this war, or any war for that matter. It's really making me evaluate life, death and war. My thoughts are with Timmy's family.

Timmy - thank you for paying the ultimate price for my freedom.
