Week ending Nov. 21, 2009 the US Department of Defense released the names of 8 military personnel who died, while serving in the United States armed forces.

Welcome viewers. These weekly episodes pay tribute to brave men and women who served our country with distinction. This video is more than an announcement of data typically found on mainstream media outlets. We focus on the warrior as a human whose lives have impacted a family, friends, and neighbors around our world. Your respectful comments are welcomed and serve as memorial tributes to our fallen soldiers. Political opinions and debates are best suited elsewhere.

Welcome to USFallen.org

USFallen.org is a small project made up of N. Texans who report on and memorialize US military fallen warriors and notable veterans.

We film homecomings and military funerals in the North Texas area as a public service for our active duty service members, family and friends unable to attend.

We are proud of all the many different people who have watched our videos. Here are samples of what our viewers have written us;
