These Combat Veterans, all from Elite Units, share a special Espirit de Corps.  They are known to go much further than "the extra mile" for other Veterans, especially our OIF & OEF young-uns, coming home now.

Sam's back

Brother Sam Day, adjusting the HONOR THE WARRIORS, NOT THE WAR banner, wears HISTORY on his head, chest, and back.
The "Triple Nickels" over his dog tags stands for the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, the famed all black Paratrooper outfit from the days of Segregation.  The Triple Nickel Buffalo Soldiers are looked upon with great pride, by ALL Paratroopers.

Dawn - Sea of Tombstones
   Unfortunately, the Bush Administration appears to be intent on forcing us to expand our tombstone display. 
   
    This VETERANS DAY weekend, the unfortunate mathematics of OIF indicate we will be approaching 3,900 KIA.
    Our Mission is to help folks realize these are 3,900 friends, neighbors, EMT workers, teachers, relatives, cops, teamsters, co-workers, loved ones, etcetera... NOT just 3,400, the number.
    PLEASE HELP
    We certainly appreciate large donations, but what REALLY funds our Veterans Display are the $10 to $20 dollar donations.
    We are a 501(C)3 Tax Exempt Organization.
All donations are DEDUCTIBLE !
    Please mail your contribution to:
OIF Tombstone Awareness Inc
