U.S. forces invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003.
The government has reported 4,486 Americans were killed in the Iraq War before the last combat troops pulled out of the country in August 2010.
The Beacon Journal would like to hear from people who served in the war — and also from those whose lives were affected by someone else’s deployment — as the 10th anniversary approaches.

On March 17, the Beacon Journal plans to publish some of the submitted stories. Others will be included on Ohio.com.
