Around 70,000 Patriots dead in the Revolution.
15,000 dead in the War of 1812.
13,200 dead in the Mexican-American War.
750,000 dead in the Civil War, both North and South.
116,516 in World War 1.
405,399 in World War 2.
2,996 killed on September 11, 2001.
Around 500,000 dead in the War on Terror.
That totals to over 1 million American men and women who gave their lives in service of our country. They suffered on the battlefields and in camps, because they believed in the values that America has stood for since the day our Founding Fathers wrote that all men were created equal.
And yet, you dare say that we shouldn't celebrate that day? You may not like it, but those 1,873,000 did. So let us celebrate our country, and you celebrate yours.
