Outside last night, saying farewell to guests, I commented on the velvet darkness and starry sparkle of the sky, no moon to distract from the points of starlight.  It seems appropriate that the moon seems to hide her face when I post another list of those lost in the wars; their families’ missing them and mourning.  I know I am names short…at least 4 Americans whose names are not yet released.  As always, I will sadly catch up next list.

My sympathies to the mourning, my cup raised in honor of the fallen!

U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Roslyn L. Schulte, 25, of St. Louis, Mo., died in Afghanistan of wounds suffered from an improvised explosive device.

More names, not thru the DOD (running late for some reason there?) so the info is not complete on all names, my apologies:

U.S. Army Sgt Charlie M. Lee, 23, of Alabama, died in Afghanistan while under attack with small arms fire.

U.S. Army SSG Esau I. De la Pena-Hernandez, 25, of California, died in Afghanistan while under attack with small arms fire.

U.S. Army Spc. David A. Schaefer, _______________, died in Iraq under hostile fire. (don’t have his age and home town or state yet, sorry for any anxiety this lack of information might cause.)
