The Akron Beacon Journal and Ohio.com today launched a special onlline project on those from the area who gave their lives in the U.S. war in Iraq and Afghanistation.There is a biography of each of the fallen soldiers and Marines and a gallery of photos about each of the casualties. I counted 14 for the Akron area with links to Beacon Journal obituaries on each.
Also included are past articles about the parents, brothers and sisters of those who died along with links to other sites providing information.
Beacon Journal staff writer Jim Carney explains in a video what it has been like to cover the story for the past five years.
The project, titled Akron’s war dead, is promoted with white type in a black box at the top of page A1.
Go to www.Ohio.com or click on the headline to see the project.
