The Faces Of The Fallen - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan
See it live...Egypt remembers | When you mouse over the picture/name, there are some brief biographical details, including how they died.
Reminds me of this...

Perhaps, at some point, Tahrir Squre will be known as Egypt's Lexington Green.
Quote from the monument:
"The blood of these Martyrs, in the cause of God and their Country, was the cement of the union of these states...
They rose as one man to revenge their bretheren, and at the point of the sword to assert and defend their Native Rights...
They nobly dared to be free."
The page immediately went viral, bringing in over 150,ooo unique views in the first 48 hours. Since it went up it has garnered over 46,835 Facebook shares and 4,121 tweets. “At some point we were getting over a tweet per minute. People were rallying around it because it puts a face on the numbers we see in the news,” said co-founder [Rudy] Adler.
