Look at these photos and read these names

The ever-amazing Photodude has posted photographs and the names of Americans killed fighting in the Terror War. This is a fitting tribute for Memorial Day, and every American should take a moment to think about their sacrifice.

I am reminded of an anecdote from World War II. A company commander asked an infantryman, "Are you willing to die for your country?"

"No, sir!"

"You're not?!"

"No, sir, I am not willing to die for my country. But I am ready to die for it, unwilling."

That's all we can ask, and it's what these men did.
