A video memorial to the fallen.»

Robert Greenwald’s Brave New Foundation has launched an online war memorial that honors members of the U.S. armed forces who lost their lives serving in Iraq. The Memorial is a collection of video memories from family, friends, and military colleagues of those who have fallen. Watch their video here:

Monday marks the four year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. See our timeline HERE.

    Order of importance for the Republo-fascists and their supporters:

    1) Party
    2) Money (included in this is war and business interests)
    3) Country

    that is sad. and what is even sadder is that these heartless, gutless, no conscious having, coward azz, s.o.b’s don’t even think twice when they lay eat food with their blood soaked hands to laying their criminal minds on that filthy pillow.


  3. R Says:

    What a nice thing to do, see and acknowlege. It’s part memorial, part video-art installation. Cool, and very touching.


  4. Zooey Says:

    Heartbreaking.

    Stop the War. Bring Home the Troops. Now.


  5. R Says:

    I remember when veterans returned from Vietnam the civilians would turn away from them, acting as though embarassed. I hope we don’t do that to the Iraq veterans. This video is a memorial, not a discredit, to thier memory.

    #2 How dare you talk about my fellow troops like that. I hope you go missing.


  7. R Says:

    #6- I couldn’t quite figure that one out. Must be a kid who doesn’t know what to say. Peace-

    Four years of meaningless carnage.
    The next four generations will wipe their feet on chympie doormats.
    Maybe wipe their asses with KingGeorgeXLIII toilet paper

    #6 & #7

    I think bs is referring to our bloodthirsty and criminal administration.

    I hope not. Once The Boy King is gone, I want him to stay gone — except in the history books — the blackhearted, soulless, criminal editions.

    #9 Mistress Z~
    I second that interpretation. Liked it too.


  12. R Says:

    #9- After several readings, that’s the conclusion I finally came to, as well.


  13. firehead Says:

    You scum libbys don’t care about troops. When you talk about cut n’ run, you undermine the troops and put them in harm’s way, just like Dick Cheney said. You don’t support the troops.

    So shut up.


  14. Xenon Says:

    Stop the war: there was no point to it, and there never will be.

    Period.

    Just better be with IMPEACHED by his name.

    Gosh fireant, if we anti-war libs had had our way, our troops would have been allowed to capture Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora, the war in Iraq never would have taken place, and 3100+ troops would be alive today. Their families wouldn’t be grieving, our military would be strong enough to protect this country from any actual threats, and your favorite Chimp would be much more popular.

    STFU.

    Amended to: Blackhearted, soulless, impeached criminal editions.

    #6. He was expressing your view and mine. It was just worded a bit strangely.


  19. Ben Dover Says:

    #13. Why is it that the “scum” liberals who dont like the troops are the only ones who are demonstrating in the streets, as I will be here in DC tomorrow, to BRING THEM HOME?? Are you myopic bastards in the Republic Party totally incapable of reading hand writing on the walls?? You continue to attack us for wanting to bring troops out of harms way by telling us that we dont care for them.

    Seems to me that the people who really care about troops are the ones who want them to stay alive.

    Since you are so gung ho, when can we expect you to be volunteering to go over there and take the place of, say, Sherwood, in this video?


  20. Curlew Says:

    #19. I think firehead has been listening to Rush spew his venom for too long that he is now incapable of cognitive thought. Dont waste you time on mindless punks like Firehead. Remember this …when you get in a pissing match with a skunk, all you wind up with is its smell.


  21. freeman Says:

    I’msorry I just can’t bring myself to watch this , just tell me how it ends !


  22. Zooey Says:

    freeman,

    It’s only a little over a minute long. The father talks about his memories of his son when he was a baby.


  23. bs Says:

    sorry folks if those who don’t know……….i was referring to the zionist owning our country and the nazi occupying my whitehouse. i’m a fellow gi and that is sad.

    i should have specified and was meaning to and then……….


  24. CoffinsDrapedWithFlags Says:

    It’s heart breaking to see this video.

    “The war took brothers, the war took my dad, the war took my husband and everything I had. Alone on the homestead, with the bones of the fallen dead.”

    GONE BUT NOT FOROTTEN BY AMERICANS WHO WILL REMEMBER THEIR ULTIMATE SACRIFICE–EXCEPT BY THE TRAITOROUS NAZI-FASCIST DOGS LED BY CHIMPya/Cheney/Rove AND Bushland Uber Allies!!!!!


  26. Shirley Says:

    HEY GUESS WHAT FOLKS? It’ also the FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MURDER OF 23-year-old AMERICAN PEACE ACTIVIST RACHEL CORRIE BY THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES.
    ISRAEL ROLLED A FRIGGIN BULLDOZER OVER HER CRUSHING HER TO DEATH. Then the corporate media basically downplayed or ignored the murder, while playing up Palestinian crimes.
    Even the COMMUNIST CHINESE found the prospect of crushing the Tiannenman Square “Tank Man” protester too much. And they say the Chinese are the Jews of the Orient? Not until they show the stomach for crushing a peace activist with a tank or bulldozer!
    BTW Israel has apparently never paid restitution to Corrie’s family which has been pursuing a lawsuit since the heinous murder was committed.

    FBI Informant & CIA “Assets” Plotted 1993 WTC Attack, FBI & CIA Also Followed 9-11 Hijackers

    Source: Online Journal
    Published: February 28, 2007 Author: Jerry Mazza

    Fitz, “Would Not Be Appropriate For Me To Testify”
    How about under subpoena?…It was not appropriate to leak a CIA operative’s name and lie about it either. I would think there comes a time that testifying or not testifying by Fitzgerald is not an OPTION. The time is now.

    I believe that one of the ways that Rove got himself “unindicted” by Fitzgerald last year was to get out the Salem tapes. I heard the Salem tapes on FM radio in NJ and on NPR the same week that Fitzgerald was about to hand down Rove’s indictment in the Plame affair. Fitzgerald was one of the prosecutors of the WTC 93 case along with Guliani and Chertoff.


  28. sybelia Says:

    instead of cheney or bush photos to illustrate so many articles sometimes have a photo of one of the fallen soldiers or one of our currently serving troops seem bushcheney’s ugly mugs too ofen the ones they murdered and the one endangered now by their lies should have their faces known to the American citizens

    So shut up.

    Comment by firehead

    The continuing, useless occupation of Iraq is what is putting our soldiers in harm’s way. Progressives wish to end the farce would take the troops out of harm’s way. But it was too much to hope that you would have the slenderest, most tenuous grasp of REALITY.

    Shut up, you say?

    F*CK YOU WITH A SPLINTERY AXE HANDLE, YOU VACUOUS, WARMONGERING PUKESACK.

    Well, Zooey, that was my “moment.”

    :S
