Solemn moment: A Patriot Guard rider blows the bugle to play taps to honor those who died in World War II. An estimated 70 to 85 million people perished during the war. The United States joined the conflict in 1941 and at war’s end over 16 million U.S. citizen soldiers served in the conflict; over 400,000 died and over and 670,000 were wounded in the conflict.
