"UNCOUNTED CASUALTIES"
Lance Pilgrim, an Army veteran who was among the first soldiers deployed to Iraq in 2003, died of an overdose Aug. 18, 2007 - just six days before his 27th birthday. He wrote this letter before his death, detailing how he had gone from loving his job to being 'nothing' in just a few months.
