Total Americans  Killed in all wars

 1,211,952

Text Box: What it Cost? To the left is a listing of the number of Americans killed in action for the various wars our country has been in since it's inception.  These people died for many reasons but the one I want to focus on is the fact they died so you could be free.  This proves that 1.  Freedom isn't free and 2.  You have an obligation to each and every one of the 1,211,952 to vote each election day.  You see they died so that you can do just that.  Freely elect those who lead this country.  Yes even to war weather you agree with that war or not.  So next time you decide to sleep in and not vote remember the price that was paid!
