Gone but not forgotten: those that lost their life this weekend in the helicopter incident in Afghanistan.
Although it sounds like some families have released the names of their loved ones, the Department of Defense has not yet provided that information. But each and every name once known will be one more name too many, whether a Navy Seal, an Air Force combat controller, a dog handler (and the dog), an interpreter or an Afghan fighter we're training as our replacements.
Our hearts go out to those left behind, for whom you most certainly will be missed.
