Book Description
While working with a county-wide cemetery mapping project and the veterans interred in them, I was told that no single database existed as to who they are and where they are buried, so I decided to try and create one. Although this directory contains 10,000 veteran listings, more than that are shown as veterans in our county cemeteries. At at this time I couldn't find information as to their branch or time of service. Therefore, the work to make this directory as complete as possible, I will continue to add additional listings as the information needed is located. Each veteran is listed as follows: LAST NAME, FIRST NAME, MIDDLE NAME or initial, Year of BIRTH if known or calculated, Year of DEATH, BRANCH of service, CONFLICT and CEMETERY where the marked is located. If this listing is in bold type, the veteran is a female. An asterisk after the year of death, indicates that the veteran was listed as having died while in-service. Under the heading of conflict, a veteran who was listed as severing during the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I and World War II, whether or not they were in a combat roll, are listed under that war. Veterans who served at other times of military conflict, are listed under that conflict, only if the public records used for this research, indicated that they were involved in that war. Those veterans who served at other times or their time of service was not given, are listed as SERVICE. This book, a culmination of nearly four years of research, is to honor the men and women who served our country, many who gave their lives, and to the families, friends and all those who also honor their service by placing America flags at their graves and remembering what they did for all of us. Let us not forget!

First to Fight

ISBN: 1612511619

Pages : 247
Book Description
In this riveting insider's chronicle, legendary Marine General "Brute" Krulak submits an unprecedented examination of U.S. Marines—their fights on the battlefield and off, their extraordinary esprit de corps. Deftly blending history with autobiography, action with analysis, and separating fact from fable, General Krulak touches the very essence of the Corps: what it means to be a Marine and the reason behind its consistently outstanding performance and reputation. Krulak also addresses the most basic but challenging question of all about the Corps: how does it manage to survive—even to flourish—despite overwhelming political odds and, as the general writes, ""an extraordinary propensity for shooting itself in the foot?"" To answer this question Krulak examines the foundation on which the Corps is built, a system of intense loyalty to God, to country, and to other Marines. He also takes a close look at Marines in war, offering challenging accounts of their experiences in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. In addition, he describes the Corps's relationship to other services, especially during the unification battles following World War II, and offers new insights into the decision-making process in times of crisis. First published in hardcover in 1984, this book has remained popular ever since with Marines of every rank.
