The following listings were created in the memory of the Connecticut soldiers and sailors that gave their all to their State and Country during World War II.  Soldier's of the armed forces, as well as Merchant Marines, are both included in this listing.

     I have created or found "online memorials" for these honored men and women using "Find A Grave".   You will see a blue " Yes " behind their names and by clicking on the " Yes " you can see the memorial that either I or someone else has created for them.

     On "many" of the "Find A Grave" online memorials you will see a small biography for each soldier which includes: parent's names, where they lived and where and how they actually died.  If you see one without a bio and you have information on them please email me and I'll update their records.

     Also Please Note:  The records show these men and women as either enlisting from the noted county, being from the noted county, or having some tie to that county.  Therefore some of these soldiers may not necessarily be from the particular county noted.

     If you know where any of these men or women are interred, have a picture or more information about them please let me know by sending me an "email - (by clicking here)" so that I can make an online memorial for them or add more information about them on their memorial.   This is just a small way of making sure these Connecticut soldiers, sailors, and Merchant Marines that gave their all ARE REMEMBERED!!
