A 1st Infantry Division soldier died and two were wounded when a homemade bomb exploded near Baqouba, the military said. The soldiers went to the area after Iraqi security notified them that a homemade bomb had been found. The two injured soldiers were in stable condition.

The gunbattle that killed one soldier occurred Wednesday near Taji, just north of the capital, said Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the U.S. military's deputy director of operations. A U.S. soldier was also wounded.

On Tuesday, guerrillas attacked a patrol in the town of Hamam al-Alil, 210 miles north of Baghdad, wounding a U.S. soldier...

Creator, Father, who first breathed
In us the life that we received,
By power of thy breath restore
The ill, and men with wounds of war.
Bless those who give their healing care,
That life and laughter all may share.

In honor of our priceless fallen Soldiers, and their friends left behind who are forced to fight two wars, to save civilization, and to tell the world, and our enemies, the whole story - from a Soldier in Iraq:

8 Update from Iraq ~ "We had another great week here in Iraq and conditions continue to improve. ...The propaganda message (during this election year) that the news media is putting out is disturbing to us. We see the fruits of our labor, and we encourage our family members to ignore the negative news media." ~  185th Aviation Group | 3/22/04 | Catfish 6 Bradly MacNealy TF 185th Aviation "In the Sunni Triangle"

These warriors have given their lives to change history.

The world will never be the same hopeless dungeon for tens of millions of people because of our coalition's work.

The world will come to appreciate their sacrifice as much as America does now.
