Remembering Iraq and Afghanistan War Casualties
by Flo Jonic and Megan Hall
WRNI (May 26, 2008)
This Memorial Day, we look at the stories of two Rhode Islanders who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ten Rhode Islanders have died in the Iraq war. Many are buried at the
Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery in Exeter. That's where WRNI's Flo Jonic
caught up with the family of Marine lance corporal Holly Charette, the
first female Marine killed in the Iraq conflict.

The casualties of war extend beyond the men and women in the armed forces. Brown university graduate, researcher, and visiting scholar Michael Bhatia was killed by a road side bomb in Afghanistan earlier this month. WRNI's Megan Hall brings us more on a man who believed writing papers about the war wasn't enough.
