Since September 2001, many have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, during the wars there, including uncounted numbers of civilians and thousands of soldiers. In these memorials, we pause to reflect on those losses, and to remember every human life lost in the course of war, both soldiers and civilians caught in the midst of battle.
