Happy Memorial Day

This Memorial Day we honor those who serve in the United States Armed Forces, their families, and all military retirees and veterans. On this occasion I would like to share couple interesting/educational pages I have created:

• Michigan casualties of Iraq War
  (For other states check out iCasualties.org)
• National Cemeteries maintained by Veterans Affairs and National Park Service and Army
• IRAQ War Casualties Count (both Dead and Wounded) by State
• Women Casualties of IRAQ War

Michigan's Contribution towards Iraq War

Ever wondered how much Michigan Taxpayer's have contributed towards Iraq War?

To date the amount is $13.9 Billion. Michigan ranks 13 out of 51 states (including District of Columbia) in terms of Dollars. California leads with $66.2 Billion. (source: National Priorities Project)

I have mapped out the contribution of all 51 states (including District of Columbia) on Google Maps which includes information on how that money could have been used if not spent on the war.
