"All gave some, some gave all."
Over 2 million military members served in operations during GWOT. They all give some time missing events at home with loved children, spouses, parents and friends. Many gave more with lasting wounds. The numbers on the map represent the total fallen in each US state and territory. This portrays a unity of our country for a great cause. Although, each is more than a number and a deep scar of friends and family forever changed. Your life

Living is something only you can define. Living is hard many days. Remember, the person behind each of these flags believes in you and wants you to live as a good citizen making your part of the world better for yourself and others. "So others may live..." a common motto of the military.
