The Scripps-Howard news service has published a poignant story about children who've lost a parent in the war in Iraq: Children of the Fallen says there are nearly 900 so far, enough to fill 17 school buses. There are also profiles of several soldiers who died leaving kids behind: one of them, Staff Sgt. Wentz "Baron" Shanaberger was from Fort Pierce, Fla.
