Iraq war leaves small impression on Mass. city
By Rick Hampson, USA TODAY
WORCESTER, Mass. - Now and then, motorists passing the First Baptist Church see a neatly dressed, clean-shaven, middle-age man holding a homemade sign with a grim accounting: the number of U.S. deaths in Iraq.
It's one of relatively few reminders that this city, repeatedly convulsed by wars past, is again part of a nation at war. Worcester has lost many lives in foreign conflicts: 42 in Vietnam, 104 in Korea, more than 700 in World War II. But like about three dozen other U.S. cities with populations over 100,000, it has yet to appear on the Pentagon list of servicemembers killed in Iraq.
