Memorial Day
Lest we forget.
These are the numbers of those who have fallen in all the wars the United States has fought.
This Wikipedia link gives a break-down of those wounded as well as those who died in non-combat related situations, due to illness or dieing while in POW camps.
This link is from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Did you know there is STILL no memorial or monument in Washington D. C. for The Great War?
Frank Buckles is the last surviving veteran from World War I. He is 108 years old and is lobbying Congress. You can go to World War I Memorial Foundation to learn more.
