For those of you who don't read as many newspapers as I do on a regular basis I'm going to share something I ran across. On this Memorial Day weekend, a Google engineer named Sean Askay, is sharing his personal labor of love he started four years ago while in grad school with everyone. He calls it the Map of the Fallen. It is an interactive map he created in his spare time using, you guessed it, Google Earth. It shows each individual who was killed in action in OIF and OEF and then links them to their place of death using a line. He started it for the U.S. casualties, but continued for casualties from all armed forces. So I take my hat off to Sean Askay, he has my admiration and my thanks.
