1. America’s bloodiest battle happened 100 years ago this month. It claimed 26,000 lives. Excerpt:
(by Michael E. Ruane, The Washington Post, 9/26/2018) Historians say it was the bloodiest battle in U.S. military history, claiming the lives of 26,000 Americans and wounding 95,000. Twice as many died there than the next most costly battle — the World War II fight for Okinawa, which claimed 12,900 lives, according to the late historian Robert H. Ferrell. Fourteen thousand men, most of them killed in the battle, are buried in the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, near the French village of Romagne-sous-Montfaucon.(Submitted on March 6, 2024, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
