That's a great idea.

I fully support it but with one caveat, NO PowerPoint allowed.

No man ever won a war by doing PowerPoint presentations for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb, son-of-a-bitch do PowerPoint presentations for his country.

Military Losses in American Wars

EXCERPT:

The numbers of Civil War dead were not equaled by the combined toll of other American conflicts until the War in Vietnam.  Some believe the number is as high as 850,000.  The American Battlefield Trust does not agree with this claim.

The above table was excerpted from the following article by the American Battlefield Trust:
