Last Goodbye: US Soldiers from Iraq War
June 30, 2007. Last day of Art Show: 3,579
June 21, 2007: 3,545
It is now June 16th and we have two more weeks of the art show. The death count of US Soldiers is now 3,521. The non-mortal casualties are at 34,650. In WWII 1 in 2 of casualties were mortal casualties, in Vietnam it was 1 in 3, in the Iraq War, the ratio is 1 in 10.
As of June 6, 2007, two days before our art show opens, the total number of confirmed deaths of US soldiers is 3,493.
Today, seven US soldiers were killed to bring the total to 3,422. Today is May 20. May is on track to be the deadliest month since the invasion.
As of May 4, 2007 3,358 dead American Soldiers.
As of April 19, 2007 the Department of the Defense reports 3,311 confirmed U.S. deaths with 5 pending. Total wounded as of February 3, 2007 is 24,314.

As of March 25, 2007 the Department of Defense reports 3,236 U.S. Deaths. As of February 5th, the governement has recognized 32,544 non mortal casualties.
