Greetings. Someone sent the below to me to see if I can verify it. Regretfully, I cannot. Does anyone know if these are correct? Thanks! God Bless America Gary • Today's Fact:  During the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), total American battle deaths were 4,435 (4,044 army, 342 navy, and 49 marines). The number of wounded was 6,188 (6,004 army, 114 navy, and 70 marines). On September 11, 2001, more people were killed and wounded than during the entire American Revolution.

A Different Perspective! During the 3 day battle of Gettysburg, there were 51,000 casualties making Gettysburg the bloodiest battle of American history. Additionally, when the battle had ended, 5,000 dead horses, and the other wreckage of war, presented a scene of terrible devastation. During the 10 year war in Vietnam, 4,368,000 Served in the war, 30,921died in battle, 7,273 died outside of battle, 96,802 were wounded. Nearly as many horses died at Gettysburg, as people in the twin towers. Statistics can be mean, and deceiving. I would not attempt to make statistical comparisons of wartime events, as they are really not comparable. Apples/Oranges....Horses/People....18th century/19th century/20th century!
