I had actually heard about this a few weeks ago, but apparently it was a front page article in the Washington Post today.

A high school classmate of mine who was killed in Iraq.

I've had a few friends and family members of mine who have been sent to Iraq since the conflicts began a few years ago, but they have all made it back safely. Its odd how things don't touch quite so much as they do as when someone you know is affected. I mean she wasn't a close friend or anything, but she was someone I knew, talked with. It makes the war so much more of a tangible thing.
