Death toll for U.S.-led coalition in Iraq tops 1,000

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- In a grim milestone, the number of deaths in the American-led coalition in Iraq surpassed 1,000 this week.

The latest reported deaths include a U.S. soldier who died from wounds in fighting Thursday in Baghdad, an American soldier killed in a Samarra attack Wednesday and another who died in a nonbattle-related incident Thursday.

The deaths bring multinational fatalities -- both in combat and "nonhostile" situations -- to 1,002 since the start of the war in March 2003. U.S. military deaths now total 881.

There are no reliable figures for the Iraqi deaths in the war.

I apoligize for my recent comments. They were intended to illustrate the just cause these heroic men and women have selflessly given their lifes for and the respect their sacrifice deserves. I extend that respect to all the victims of the regime.

From a friend north of the border:

My deepest condolences to the brave men and women of your country who have sacrificed their lives in service to their country.

We can only hope that their sacrifice, and the sacrifice of others like them, will eventually lead to an improved situation in that region.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warmp uon your face;
and the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again -
May God hold you in the plam of His hand
