2,000th? Let's examine the toll...2,000 deaths in Iraq. We lost 2,000 deaths at the Battles of Brandywide and Germantown, 2,000 were lost in the day at 1st Manassass (Bull Run), the first hours at Fredericksburg, and the first first 30 minutes at the Battle of Sharpsburg (Antietam). Another 2,000 were lost in one month in Cuba in 1898; 2,000 were lost at the 2nd Battle of the Marne, 2,000 were lost at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941...and, God knows, how many more 2,000 men were lost in the opening minutes at Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Anzio, and Tarawa. And even that2,000 is an expensive price for loved ones paying the price for America, IT IS A CHEAP PRICE TO PAY FOR LIBERTY!
There were around 5000 killed on D-Day alone
