The war does indeed grind on- and yet the Nation barely notices. Little news coverage or conversation-in fact very few even on this forum seem to notice. It is heartbreaking. My prayers and thoughts go out to the families of these 6 soldiers-& to the families of the 109 other Soldiers, Marines Airmen and Sailors who have given their lives in Afghanistan this year, and to all of those Soldiers who are still in harms way.
