July 5, Wayne's Family Restaurant, Oconto, Wisconsin. Just to the left of the kitchen, a memorial to a fallen waitress: Army Pfc. Nichole M. Frye, killed at age 19 by a roadside bomb 3-1/2 years ago in Baqubah, Iraq. "She made the dinner rush fun," a coworker wrote in tribute.And just over the border, where Canada Day was celebrated July 1, flags in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, are flying at half-staff following last Wednesday's fatal roadside-bombing of 6 Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. The soldiers' widows have requested privacy in their time of grief.
