On this Memorial Day, let us remember those from Pennsylvania who have and are serving their country in the military and related services.
These statistics from a press release from Rep. Allyson Schwartz:
It is especially important to acknowledge the tremendous service of Pennsylvania troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today there are over 9,615 Pennsylvania soldiers currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since 2001, more than 65,385 Pennsylvania soldiers have served in these two nations.
203 Pennsylvania soldiers have given their lives and 1,319 others have been wounded while deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan . We must never forget the commitment and courage shown by these men and women who have sacrificed so much for America and for us.
The full press release is or will be on the congresswoman's legislative site.
