The grand total of U.S. killed, wounded, injured, and ill for the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars reached nearly 67,000 at the end of July 2007, according to casualty reports published by the Department
of Defense on August 4, 2007. For July 2007, there were 1,720 U.S. casualties. This means more than 55 U.S. service
members killed, wounded, injured, or ill each day.
Veterans for Common Sense obtained this information after filing a Freedom
of Information Act request with the Department of Defense, Defense Manpower Data Center , Statistical Analysis Division.
In response the DoD provided VCS with links to their complete casualty reports for both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Because of your continued support and generosity, construction
of the Wounded Warriors Retreat will begin in the Spring of 2009. We have had several families dedicate"Global War On Terror
Memorial Bricks" to their own sons. It is moving to read the letters that come from families who have lost a son or daughter
and want to help to build the Retreat while memorializing a loved one who gave all that there was to give. Students from
the University of Nebraska, Lincoln School of Architecture's third year design studio have spent their semester working on
preliminary designs of the Retreat. A press conference was held last Friday to show the public their designs. A short video
can be viewed here. If you would like to know more about the Wounded Warriors Retreat or how you can help, please call
me. I enjoy hearing from you. Semper Fidelis! John D. Folsom Colonel, USMCR email: johnfolsom@woundedwarriors.org phone: (402) 490-7875
