I started this list last year, inspired by Bill West. I think I will try to do an update each year. If you're looking for your veteran ancestors, check out the Honor Roll Project by Heather Wilkinson Rojo.
Happy Veterans Day! A heartfelt thank you to all who are currently serving and all who have served our country!
