As you can see, I am still working on this but I am making progress.
I am happy to report that so far, with the exception of two, all of our men serving tours of duty in various branches of the armed services, came home to their families.
Each of the men here will have their own pages, that you can get to by clicking on their photo. These pages will have in depth information on their areas of deployment, battles and awards earned, in addition to personal timelimes and family info.
If you notice I have added a 'Maps' button the the navigation menu to the left there. I hope to have maps of the areas in which our men served, as it stands I have just one but I am working on it.
The resource page is just that, a page where I list all of the different places I found information on the service records, the wars themselves and other areas of interest with regards to the campaigns that our men were involved in.
