Thhis is one war. There are others. They gave their lives so we can remain free!

Let their lives be not in vain.

I see much of the HTML didn't carry over to your post, but the link works just fine. Thanks for a very interesting page. I've bookmarked it.

"...They gave their lives so we can remain free!"

The sad part is that the "greatest generation" spawned a lot of today's "hate America first" crowd.

They don't have him listed, but my grandpa is buried at Margratten military cemetary, the Netherlands.

I'll send them documentation.

Maybe Nightline will read off these names next. Ha!

Don't bet your life on it!

Thanks! I used the "View", "Source", and copied the selected page. I need to try MS Frontpage and see if it will work better. Glad you got what you're looking for!

Thanks again!

Wow...I didn't know that it was over 400,000 that lost their lives in WWII. I forgot where I got one figure I used in the past, but I thought it was around 297,000...instead of the 400,000+.

I have read that over 20,000 aircrew were lost in training, just within the US. I suppose training and non combat deaths for the rest could be about the same. So, roughly, something like 40,000 died preparing and training. About one in ten.
