Who: National World War II Museum
Why are they special? The museum includes World War II re-enactors from both sides and a show in the canteen.
The United States lost between 405,339 to 416,800 men during World War II, making the conflict the deadliest in US history. This represents about 30% of US total military deaths. (The US was the 6th nation in this area during the conflict, following the Soviet Union, Germany, China, Japan and Yugoslavia. The Civil War is sometimes cited as the deadliest US war but for military deaths, the Union lost about 46,000 fewer men than in WW2.)
Since 1775, 1,343,812 members of the US military have died during war or deployment.
Today we remember them.
