Marylander's
Who Gave Their All
During World War II
" Dorchester County " |
( All weblinks within this document are "Blue" )
LAST UPDATE:Thursday, May 3, 2012
The following list was created in the memory of those Maryland soldiers from Dorchester County 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 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.
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 Maryland soldiers that gave their all ARE REMEMBERED!!
