D-Day: More Americans died in that one day than in all of Iraq War - NY Daily News

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.

Yeah, one battle that costs US 29,000 American lives (and many more later) so Europe could be free from Nazis, and still some morons in Europe promote anti americanism... yeah maybe if they would face allmost complete extermination as central and east european countries had to, they would be more thankfull...
