To get a sense of how great a sacrifice the U.S. made 68-years-ago when the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy, consider this tragic arithmetic: That battle cost 29,000 American lives.[/url]
To give some perspective the number of troops lost in that one battle is roughly 5 times as many troops lost in the entire Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.
