Did Florida send less or are Florida men just more difficult to kill?

Overall the Americans got off quite lightly.

I expect there is a fair Tribal contribution also.

The low death rates for the South were the result of black soldiers being kept back from the frontlines during WW2.

Wild that the Deep South sort of kept themselves out of it. I wonder why.

As a Minnesotan…lots of corn fed Midwestern boys went overseas. My own grandfather (from Michigan) gave up his spot to play football at Michigan to enlist in the navy. He told my grandmother if he made it home, they’d get married and start a life. He made it home and they had 5 kids and lived a wonderful long life. He suffered from jungle rot for the rest of life and rarely spoke of what he saw. But damn if he wasn’t the true embodiment of what Americans call “the greatest generation”

My grandfather just missed WWII (high school class of ‘46) and was from Albuquerque. There is a whole page at the back of his year book of guys who were serving or killed in action. It is a long list.

Crazy that under 2,000 people from Montana dying was all it took to get that dark
