This Christmas season, there are 6,656 who will not be gathered around the tree with their families opening presents and celebrating the joy of love and being together. Of those 6,656 killed in Afghanistan, more than 300 were lost in 2012. Some of those names are listed below.
We pay tribute to those brave souls fallen while giving us the gift of freedom. Please say a prayer for these people and those they've left behind. Show your thanks and gratitude to those in the service of our country .
