This foundation and website was established a few years ago by Mitch Atkinson, a Naperville resident, to insure that those who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan are not forgotten.   He has created a banner which has the names of everyone (all services and states) who has lost their life.   It started as a small banner.   He has arranged for the DOD to keep him updated with the names and updates the banner twice a year.
