Total: ~1,319,943
That's just the numbers up to 2012. 

In case you thought Memorial Day was about a day off, getting to go to the beach/on vacation, BBQ, etc. It's not. It's about remembering and honoring the 1,319,943+ Military Men and Women that have given their lives so that we can be free. So that we can go to the beach, BBQ, etc on this day. So that we (this nation) can do all the things that we are currently doing.
