powerful photo Historically the vast majority of fallen soldiers were men but things are changing. I don't know the numbers but more women are losing their lives too. Husband, wife, son, daughter, dad or mom a family member lost has a terrible impact on a family. Our family has had service members but so far we have been spared that pain.
The photo says a lot.
