StudentNewsDaily.com wishes to express our sorrow and heartfelt sympathy to the families of the two slain soldiers:
Pfc. Thomas Lowell Tucker and Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, as well as the third soldier killed in the initial attack, Spc. David J. Babineau.  These men were true heroes.

1.  Why haven't the soldiers' bodies found Monday night been officially identified yet?

2.  What do terrorists mean by the word 'slaughtered'?

3.  After an Iraqi civilian spotted the bodies, why did it take the military so long to recover them?

4.  What questions did U.S. commanders raise about the terrorists' kidnapping and murder of Pfc. Tucker and Pfc. Menchaca?

5.  How are soldiers and marines usually able to repel terrorist attacks?

6.  What do you do to show your appreciation and support for our soldiers?

There are many organizations that support our troops and their mission, providing people the opportunity to write a letter of encouragement and support or send a care package.  Look at the websites below.  Which is the most interesting to you?  Consider writing a letter of thanks and support to a soldier today. 
(NOTE: Many organizations point out that you might not receive a letter in return, as soldiers aren't always in a place where they have time to write letters.  But remember why you are writing: to encourage the soldier and express American support and appreciation for what they are doing for us.)
