Question: Why has The Spokesman-Review stopped running the "Tour of Duty" page? -- Mary DeLateur, Spokane
Answer: We ended that feature with the end of formal hostilities in Iraq, although that distinction feels rather meaningless at this point. We did establish an online database of American soldiers killed in Iraq and we keep that database updated. -- Steve Smith, editor
