Since 2001, 1419 U.S. troops have lost their lives while serving in Afghanistan, and since 2003, 4439 U.S. troops have died while serving in Iraq.
The IGTNT (I Got The News Today) series is a reminder that nearly every day, somebody gets the heartbreaking news that a friend, former classmate, or beloved family member will not be coming home from war.
Tonight we remember two soldiers who died at war, far from home:
Spc. Andrew P. Wade, 22, of Antioch, Illinois
Cpl. Loren M. Buffalo, 20, of Mountain Pine, Arkansas
Please take a moment below to remember them,
and all those who have lost their lives in these wars.
