The Price of Freedom

Military Casualties-Source Department of Defense

Since the inception of the United States of America on July 4, 1776 every generation of Americans have been called on to defend freedom and liberty. Over the years more than forty two million American men and women have served their country in time of war. More than a million have secured the blessings of liberty with their lives. Below, are statistics from the Department of Defense detailing the casualties of all the major wars of our countries history. We offer these statistics as proof of the price of freedom.

We realize that many smaller conflicts that saw loss of life are not necessarily included in these statistics. We continue to search for the most complete and accurate public information regarding all U.S. Military Casualties in all conflicts and will update this information as we receive it. We welcome any assistance in obtaining reliable information. You can go to "Contact Us" with any helpful information.
