Can someone tell me how many French, Dutch, Italians, Belgians and Brits are buried on our soil, after defending us against our enemies?
I can tell you that there is 104,366 brave Americans who died defending Europeans from their enemies and were buried in American Cemeteries in Europe. I am not sure why but when I am exposed to the arrogance and dislike demonstrated by Europeans, sometime I wonder just why the hell did we do what we did. Then I remember, we are Americans.
My friend Mimi has a series of 100 reasons to blog for peace.
Maybe I have 104,366 reason to join her.

Very enlightening.. thanks for sharing.
Great post, I am speechless, and while no one is buried over there I guess we will leave Iraq and just cross our fingers. You don't think Iran will interfere will you. My God, President obama, how about growing a pair. Have you seen the interview with the Nc pastor on Hannity. It is a great one as he talked with POTUS.
Wow Charlie. I didn't realize that many soldiers died for Europe. The people of Europe unfortunately don't realize it. I wonder have many Canadians died there?

Wikipedia said 45,400 Canadians were KIA
Wonderful post, Charlie.
I, too, had no idea of the number of Americans buried overseas. Any idea of Pacific burials?
Thank you my friend.
Paul
