Our Family Hero's Remembered


I have been doing genealogy so long now on our family and its history. I love it and finally the puzzle is starting to all fit after all these years. I have added a Military Branch on my other site to Honor the memory of any soldiers in mine and my husbands family. I have just started to add information and cant wait to add more. Our family, like so many millions out there have the fallen soldiers, the killed in action, the ones defending our country at present, so I want to Honor their courageous acts for what they did and are doing. God Bless each soldier and keep them safe, and God bless the United States!

These are only a partial list of the men  in our Family Tree, who served our Country in the Service. We have so many family that we are still researching .
