A portrait exhibition of more than 1,300 servicemembers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan has been extended until March 31, 2006, at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial in Arlington, Va. Since opening in March 2005, “Faces of the Fallen: America’s Artists Honor America’s Heroes” has drawn close to a quarter million visitors and has been named one of the best exhibitions of 2005 in the Washington D.C. area. (Go here for more information about the exhibit, but when we checked today, the closing date still showed December 2005, which was also an extension.)
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
