Memorial Day marks a grim day of U.S. deaths.

“Americans have opened nearly 1,000 new graves to bury U.S. troops killed in Iraq since Memorial Day a year ago. The figure is telling — and expected to rise in coming months. In the period from Memorial Day 2006 through Saturday, 980 soldiers and Marines died in Iraq, compared to 807 deaths in the previous year.”

Yes, I saw on the news where Cheney spoke to the Westpoint Graduates, that have been in school during the whole entire Iraqi War (ya wasn't this the war on terror?)

That was really a slap in the face to have Mr. 5 deferrments speak for the Westpoint Grads.
