I would like to dedicate this page to those family members who have served in the military forces and fought for our freedom. Most of us have an ancestor who has served in war. Some have been lost, but most were able to come home and reunite with their loved ones to live the life they fought so bravely for. I'm not proud of all the things we fought for, but I know they did what they thought best for their families and homes. If there is and asterisk by their name, it is a link for additional information.
