Beautiful Dead Girls

"We hear a lot about beautiful dead girls in the US media. Here are some that we haven't heard about much.

Another reason is that many people still haven't focused on the reality of women in the military. Even here on DKos, I see comments about "sons and fathers" who have been killed and maimed. Almost NO MENTION of women in the military.

Here, in no particular order, are some American heroes who were killed in combat in Iraq:"
