To honor those service members who have fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The new Google Earth layer, called Map the Fallen, enables the user to pinpoint where, when, and how each service member died since the beginning of the war in Afghanistan. A line connects the service member's approximate location of death to his or her hometown.
The interactive tool -- available at
http://www.mapthefallen.org/-- also offers a detailed profile of each person."
It works on a timeline, that shows U.S. and coalition troop deaths chronologically.
You can search for a fallen service member by name, age, gender, hometown, or location of death.
