While the recent focus of the media is on the death of a pop culture icon. While many will mourn, wail and quite literally make fools of themselves over it and while as many will speak endlessly about it, we need to remind ourselves that others have died this month; others whose lives were cut short; others who leave behind loved ones and whose families will dearly miss them; families who'll suffer with much more dignity and honor than we'll be exposed to on the tube in the coming days.

Yes... it's true... we've suffered a great loss... but it is not the death of the "king of pop music."

These American military members died in Iraq this month:

• Sergeant Justin J. Duffy
• Specialist Christopher M. Kurth
• Specialist Charles D. Parrish
• Lance Corporal Robert D. Ulmer
• Staff Sergeant Edmond L. Lo
• Sergeant Joshua W. Soto
• Captain Kafele H. Sims
• Specialist Chancellor A. Keesling

And these members of our U.S. Armed Forces died in Afghanistan this month:

• Command Master Chief Petty Officer Garber, Jeffrey J.
• 1st Sergeant Blair, John D.

These Fallen Heroes are the true American Heroes that we should honor. May God bless them and their families.
