4000 crosses

Some people are probably saying that a war with ONLY 4000 deaths is no big deal. You bet, as long as it's not you, a loved one, family member, good friend, etc.
 
I remember as a boy during WW2, walking along a residential street and seeing the Gold Stars displayed in windows. Grim reminders of the toll for a small town.
 
The United States military casualities for WW2 reached 418000 deaths, and uncounted wounded. However, this wasn't a war of choice like Iraq is. Not my choice for sure, but you know whose.
