National Journal cover story this week titled " The Other Three Thousand" ( http://www.nationaljournal.com). The article, by Sydney J. Freedberg Jr., points out that the media, and even the military, have devoted more attention in this war to the 3,000-plus who have died than to the 3,000-plus who have been awarded medals for valor.
The lists overlap, as in Dunham's case, but most of the awardees are still alive. They are people such as Army Staff Sgt. Thomas Stone, who on Feb. 21, 2005, curled himself around a wounded comrade to protect him from an expected insurgent's blast. "If it goes off, you're going to be okay," Stone told him. "Hug your wife and kids, and don't ever forget me."
It didn't, and both were rescued. Stone remains in uniform today.
