Delaware Liberal

Veteran’s Day Open Thread [11.11.11]

At 11:11 am today I was trying to find the number of Delawareans that were killed in WWI. I couldn’t find a number, but I did find out that a staggering number of people were killed in that war. (22 million casualties e.g. killed or wounded) Great Brittan alone lost 2.5 million out of 5 million in arms.

At least the deaths were not in vain and the horror of “The Great War” made it impossible for any other country to ever contemplate the idea of going to war.
