In memory of all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in freedom.
Let us never forget their memories.

American military deaths by war per
Wikipedia. This includes all deaths including those by illness, disease etc. It is interesting to note that there were more American combat deaths on
Iwo Jima in the 36 days it took to capture that island in WWII than all the military deaths in over 10 years so far on the War on Terror . Almost 22,000 Japanese were killed in the assault on the island.
