The Fallen.

I found this on the Iraq war and I salute those states that are at the upper portions of this per capita view which is probably better than my idea of percentages. Those at the lower end.....there could be a good reason but I guess it needs explaining at least.Iraqi War Casualties (per capita) statistics - states compared - StateMaster Military

 

And I think it is a story in itself that a non-state suffers over 8 casualties per 100000 and a state may only suffer less than a half person per 100,000 as this shows a more accurate picture than simple state figures. This does not in any way diminish the contributions of those who have given all for our freedom.

 

And that even the "lowest" percentage represents people. Too many people.
