Thanks Rattletrap !

And just to add "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE".

I was Army for 13 years, and entered service in 1968 near the middle of Vietnam war.
I was never deployed there, but God bless all those who did and sacrificed in so many ways !

History: The U.S. actually entered the Vietnam War in 1955, when we initially send military advisors there, along with CIA, war officially ended in 1975. Over 50,000 American soldiers lost there lives.

The greatest number of American soldier lives lost was the Civil War, a staggering 600,000, very sad !
WWII over 400,00 military lives lost.


For those interested, check this list of wars for American military losses:

GOD BLESS AMERICA !
