On the 26th of this month, Memorial Day, at 12:21 AM, Mia Farrow posted the following on her blog. The 'What For?' is her subject title, and one many of us have been asking for these 5plus years.

We have just learned that my nephew, Jason Deane, died in Iraq yesterday

His mother is my sister, Tisa Farrow. His dad is Terry Deane.

In an exclusive new index, Foreign Policy and the Center for a New American Security surveyed more than 3,400 active and retired officers at the highest levels of command about the state of the U.S. military. They see a force stretched dangerously thin and a country ill-prepared for the next fight.

On this day, 3-19-08, the 5th anniversary of the Occupation of Iraq, some may attend the thousands of candlelight vigils around the country.

Some may have other vigils of remembrance planned.

Some may write of their feelings.

Some may have other ways to observe and remember the Fallen and Maimed of our Military and the Tens of Thousands of the Innocent Killed and Maimed and Millions thrust into refugee status due to our countries Failed Policies.

Some may do nothing.
