Tough Day for Virginia

Two Virginia Soldiers have been killed in the War on Terrorism and one soldier died preparing for the fight. A Virginia soldier has been killed in Afghanistan (remember that war?) and another has died of an IED in Iraq. A third soldier from the Virginia National Guard died in Wisconsin while training to deploy to Iraq. He apparently contracted a bacterial meningitis during training and died. All other members of his group have been tested and found free of meningitis. I was talking to someone the other day and mentioned Seth's time in Afghanistan. They wondered if we were still fighting there......It's a sad comment when we have soldiers being killed in a war people don't even remember we're fighting. Who weeps for these soldiers other than their families and friends.....
