July Deadliest Month in Afghanistan


The death of six more American soldiers killed this week makes July 2010 the deadliest month of the 9-year-war in Afghanistan, according to AOL News on July 30.

The information, provided by the Associated Press, said in part:
"The deaths raise the July tally of U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan to 66, making this month the deadliest of the war since U.S. warplanes began bombing Afghanistan a month after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. For NATO as a whole, 86 foreign service members have been killed this month. June was the deadliest-ever month for the entire NATO force, with 104 deaths, including 60 Americans."

Let us Salute and Honor the fallen members of our military services, and pray for and help their families.
