Ever heard of R.I.P?

The corpses are still warm when some start using these poor individuals
in propaganda purposes. Let them (see below) R.I.P. man.

What do you need them for? may i ask.

[NcDeuce]

I haven't really found any good ones. FoxNews has an okay list but no pics. My local paper's website has a list with most of the soldiers' pictures. This only includes the 5th Special Forces Group, 160th SOAR, and 101st Airborne (perhaps other tenant units stationed at Fort Campbell).

Only goes up to November so it is missing a large # of names.

You guys think Im gonna use them for propaganda purposes???!!!! First off, thanks for the pictures but thats not what I'm looking for. What I need is the pictures of troops kneeling down in front of thier fellow soldiers rifle and boots, paying thier last respects. Second, I am looking for them because I would like to sketch some because it is very touching to me and I would like to have a drawing showing the price our men and women have paid freeing a nation's people from tryanny. Third, if you guys have ever read my posts before then you should know that I am probably the biggest supporter of the war and the military so to those that think I'm using them for awful purposes can go screw off.

That´s what I call propaganda purposes.

musthaveforgotmymedication,

I don't get it. How is paying respect to my fellow fallen soldiers is propaganda? Do you using your ass for all your critical thinking again? There are a lot of people over here against the war in Iraq but never they disrespect the troops.

You don't see me saying Sweden is in violation of human right because they forced their citizens to serve in their armed forces, do you?

pics using Yahoo and Google search.

Ghost, thats exactly what Im looking for but I cant find any using my resources, even yahoo and google. Guess Im just searching wrong. Anyway do you think there is a higher res version of that pic? Maybe a side shot somewhere lying around? Thanks man.

[Ghostwolf]

I don't think there's a hires version of the same photo.
I know there are a few related photos at the USMC site,
and hires ones too. Anyway, I will try to look for them.

[Ghostwolf]

Got some links here from the USMC site, I avoided any photo which shows
the face of the fallen soldier or their family members, for the respect of their privacy.

He wrote this letter to his wife in the event he died:

"I could not leave this earth without saying goodbye to you. I will miss you and the girls immensely, Even though I wasn't always the best husband, you have always been the best wife. I want you to know I died a happy man, happy that I met you and happy that I have two wonderful girls."
