Veterans

The list below shows ancestors who have made their impact by serving in the military during wartime. Like the Notable People list, this list is not all inclusive, and will grow over time as I have more time to research and document the activities of others in this database. Military veterans are grouped chronologically by war, and then alphabetically.
