Losing a person who we love is hard to forget. It is harder for everyone when the person got killed. As usual we heard about murder and crime on TV or read it in the newspaper. In Newsweek magazine there is story about the 12 American soldiers who died in Iraq those days. The story talks about their lives and what they have done in the past. This story was written for many reasons. It might show how brave they are, keep in mind what wars left behind, or know why they are killed. I'm sure that could affect 80% of people' feeling when they know about it, especially if you know that most of them were coming from visit to their families. Also about the children and grandsons they left back home in the United States.
