On the eve of the fourth anniversary of the Iraq War, Brave New Foundation has unveiled the first-ever online living memorial for Iraq vets. It contains 60-second video testimonies from friends, co-workers, and the military colleagues of those killed. Robert Greenwald, the filmmaker who conceived this project, says "No matter what you think about the war, the memorial is a place to honor the brave men and women who have been killed in Iraq serving our nation."
The Iraq Veterans Memorial will be shared across the world via the internet and added to over time, with those wanting to contribute having the ability to upload testimonials to YouTube. For the past two months, Brave New Foundation has been working with numerous Iraq veterans groups to create the memorial.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Someone might have thought that by 2007 we would have found a way to stop killing each other.
