COST OF LIBERTY 1,000,000th Man to Die for Country The cost of liberty is high for this Republic. As mothers and fathers throughout through-out the nation ponder over the world's ills and worry about their sons in service, or soon to join the armed forces, somewhere in the mud and filth of Ilorea the 1,000,-000th 1,000,-000th soldier to die for this nation may already be a casualty. Adding in the Korea casualties, 995,100 men have died in defense of this Republic. This total, however, is not up to date since reporting of Korean casualties is two to four weeks behind. The latest Korean total stood at 52,448. Of these, 8,853 were dead of all causes and 9,899 missing. The remainder were wounded. This amounted to 300 weekly since the war started last June.
