This week, we bring you our July 4th issue honoring the people who have fought our wars in the middle east. Charles Cieri profiles 10 local soldiers in print and an additional three right here, on Citypaper.net.
More than 1.5 million Americans have fought in this country's two ongoing wars. While public interest and news coverage in Iraq and Afghanistan have waxed and waned, these volunteers have continued to stream to and from the battlefield.
