I have created or found "online memorials" for these honored men 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 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 New York soldiers and Merchant Marines that gave their all ARE REMEMBERED!!

Please Note:  I've also included all the receipients of the " Medal Of Honor " from the State of New York.  Those that received the "Medal Of Honor" have their names shown in " blue ".

     If you want information on a particular soldier not yet on this list, reqardless of which county, Send me an email and I'll gladly research and include them as quickly as possible.
