Faces of the Fallen

This site from The Washington Post compiles news stories and military
reports to assemble portraits of U.S. service members lost to the ongoing
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The database, which was recently
relaunched with newly browsable features and permalinks, offers both
sweeping views of the operations' tolls and individual profiles of each
soldier or Marine who has died. Browsing through, you can view current data
on which state has lost the most men and women (California), which age has
taken the brunt (21-year-olds), which year has proved the most deadly so far
(2005), and which military branch has suffered the most fatalities (the
Army). Click in to a profile, anywhere on the site, to read about the
individuals behind those statistics. The accompanying In Their Own Words
section shares the reflections of veterans who served in Iraq.
