MILITARY RESEARCH
The military was a huge part of our (United States) ancestors' lives beginning in 1775 until now. Learning the details of your family members' military careers is a huge key to unlocking your family's history. I have a passion and experience in military history and research. I can help you find enlistment records, unit information, draft cards, photos, headstones, and career information. I will research individual(s) of your choice to discover as much as I can about your loved one's military career.
The Stories Behind the Stars
During World War II a banner with a gold star was presented to the families of the fallen.
The Stories Behind the Stars Initiative was created to organize one central digital location to collect the stories of the 400,000+ Americans who were killed during World War II.
These stories will be digitally linked to all war memorials and cemeteries by a smartphone app so visitors can read the stories of the fallen.
This national effort, researched, written, and financially supported by all those who want to see the fallen remembered, will ensure that future generations will be able to learn about each of the Americans who paid the price for the freedoms we take for granted every day.
Want to help? Visit: www.storiesbehindthestars.org. This is a national effort of volunteers to write the stories of all 400,000+ of the US WWII fallen on Fold3.
