Recently there has been an increase in Afghanistan in the total number of causalities. These causalities have gone beyond just American causalities but have also affected our allies in NATO as well. Operation Ward 57 sends our condolences to the family, friends & loved ones to those that recently made the ultimate sacrifice no matter what their nationality may be.

We offer our deepest sympathies to those who lost their loved ones in this callous attack upon allied forces. Today 10 Nato soldiers including 7 Americans lost their lives marking the worse day in the region in seven months.

Sadly, the death toll in Afghanistan has reached a milestone of 1,000 causalities today.
