Is there an RSS feed of the numbers of deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq?

I'd like to put the war in people's faces a little more by showing a running tally of the deaths of U.S. soldiers on my blog. Is there an RSS feed of this info anywhere? I'm thinking of information structured something like this... >>

[example]
1,005: Three Marines killed in roadside explosion

September 9, 2004 - Three U.S. Marines were killed and six injured when an explosive device was detonated under the wheels of their armoured personnel carrier in the Sadr City section of Baghdad. The incident was the second in three days in the heavily trafficked corridor.

This has a "reported civilian deaths" counter you can put on your site. It includes snippets about who died. Not sure if there's one for U.S. military casualties...

Ah, this may have just what you're looking for. The RSS feed is here. It includes news snippets every now and then, it seems, but has mostly information about deaths.

By the way, this is one of the saddest Ask.MeFies I've tried to answer.
