Another effective use of Interactive maps

This website displays the poignant example of how War affects the home front. I like how the designers made a simple site with a growing perforation of dots marking the casualties accorded to each region in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Once clicked on the dot become a person and the user is prompted to share memories and thoughts about the individual. Also included are bar graphs of The average ages, locations and dates of death. Overall this is an excellent site dedicated to closure and reconciliation of the victims families.
