This web page is dedicated to our ancestors and family members who served in the military during periods of both peace and conflict in our history. They served, fought and in some cases died to preserve our heritage, honor and way of life. We honor those who have gone before and embrace those who are with us today as the true heros of our country. Because of their service and that of their comrades, we are a free people.
