Putting ‘a face on the war’ -


Putting ‘a face on the war’ - Rochester, NY - MPNnow: "Canandaigua, N.Y. -
The names could be heard from the front door.

They echoed through the hallways in a solemn and slow cadence.
William D. O’Brien, 19; Juantrea T. Bradley, 28; Dustin C. Jackson, 21; Tenzin L. Samten, 33 ...

The list was so long that it took the entire school day to read. There were about 3,990 names of soldiers who have died in the Iraq War, which began five years ago yesterday. Each name was read by a student, staff member, Blue Star mother or community member in the main atrium of Canandaigua Academy."
