This is the longest period without a U.S. military combat-zone death since 9/11. Did you know?

This is the longest period without a U.S. military combat-zone death since 9/11

Wednesday marked 75 days since the last U.S. military fatalities in a combat zone, as a Gold Star father pointed out to a congressman.

Let's pray that the period gets longer and that more and more of these periods follow. I think that's just what our war-weary nation needs, GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad. Thanks for sharing the good news!

I believe that the fact that death is irreversible, reinforces the fact that human life has meaning. Kudos to President Obama and the country's leaders that support his efforts to save American lives by the use of intelligence, technology and alliances.
