Military Casualty Information
We’ve mentioned this site before on ResourceShelf. But it’s worth mentioning again, as it is an authoritative, comprehensive resource for military casualty information in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Find lists of those killed or wounded in Iraq by branch of service and either age, race, gender, or rank. Reserve status also indicated. Two comprehensive lists:
+ Operation Iraqi Freedom – Names, Casualty Date Order (As of January 22, 2005)
+ Operation Iraqi Freedom – Names, Alphabetical Order (As of January 22, 2005)
