Need some help... please
I'm putting together a slide show of U.S. casualties in Iraq for a presentation I need to do. What I need are pictures of soldiers who died in Iraq. I have found a couple places, Washington Post and NYT are a couple but all they have are little thumbnails which blur out when blown up. Does anyone know of a place that has other, larger pictures? I will use the thumbnails if I have to but I really want the audience to clearly see the faces of the kids that we threw under the bus. I need them to feel it. Please, this is important, if you have a link to a site please help me out. Also this is not a debate thread so please don't give me any shit, this project is draining enough already...

3. If you are going for effect, show a flag draped coffin and just read the names.
Or you could use GIMP to blow the pictures up.

4. Thanks... I'm using Photoshop to blow up the pics
but they get blurry at sizes I can use. I can't read the names, this is going to be live at a concert, I think the band might get pissed if I started reading the names during their song. I'll probably go with the flag draped coffin, some shots of Arlington and stuff like that, thanks for the idea, appreciate the help.

Do not know if the KIA pics are as large as you would like.
