Lest We Forget

From MSNBC:

The U.S. military also suffered one of its biggest losses in recent weeks, with four service members reported killed Monday and Tuesday.

On Monday, an explosion in the western province of Anbar killed one Marine, while two U.S. soldiers and one Iraqi soldier died in a joint attack on dozens of insurgents in eastern Diyala province. A U.S. military spokesman said two U.S. soldiers were also wounded in the attack.

Another soldier was killed Tuesday in Baghdad when an abandoned taxi exploded on an expressway near a U.S. patrol. Four others were wounded, said Sgt. 1st Class David Abrams, a spokesman for Task Force Baghdad.

Another explosion targeted a joint Iraqi-U.S. convoy in the Amiriyah neighborhood in Baghdad, said police Capt. Talib Thamir.
