This page was
created in order to share online, the sacrifices that our community has made in
the defense of our nation. For the past few years, at our Memorial Day ceremony,
Post 178 has highlighted one of our communities servicemen who in the words of
President Abraham Lincoln, "gave their last full measure of devotion" in
the service of the Republic.
This page is
different from the Roll of Honor page in that it highlights only
those servicemen who were casualties of direct combat with the enemy.
IE those members of the armed forces listed either KIA (Killed
in Action) or DOW (Died of Wounds). Those members of the armed
forces listed DOI (Died of Injuries) or DNB (Died - Non Battle)
will not be listed here because those are non-combat deaths.
This project
is on going, and will take many months and years of research and
interviews before it will be complete. If you have any
information on any of those who have fallen from the Village of
Millerton, or the Town of North East please contact the post
historian at history@legionpost178.org |
