On October 7, 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom began.

As of today, , the following U.S. Service Members are among the 2,355 + 20 who have paid the ultimate price in the defense of our country.

I also ask you to remember those who have given their lives from the coalition countries whose sacrifice surely saved American lives.
