The following list was created in the memory of the brave men and women from " Sheridan County " that " Gave Their All " for their State and Country during World War II. Soldiers, Sailors and Merchant Mariners, are all included on this listing.There are personal " Online Memorials " for each of these honored men and women that were created for them by using the " Find A Grave Website ". On the " Majority " of the online memorials you will see a small biography for each soldier which may include:
Parent's, Grandparent's & Sibling's Names,
where & when they were born,
where they grew up,
when & where they enlisted in the service,
the military unit they were part of,
" AND "
where and how they actually died during the war !If you see one without a biography, picture, or you have more information on them please send me an Email at russpickde@comcast.net - ( or by clicking here )
I'll update their records as quickly as possible .....

Sheridan County had a total of :
" 56 "
Soldiers, Sailors & Merchant Mariners who
" Gave Their All "
during World War II !

Information was used from the following link for the
" Army & Air Force Records "
at National Archives for this report :" Multiple Links "
at the National Archives were used for the
" Navy & Coast Guard "
for this report.
Also please note: The records show these men and women as either enlisting, being originally from, or having strong ties to " Sheridan County ". On some of the records you will note that the "Cemetery/Memorial" column shows "unknown". If you know where any of these men or women are interred please let me know by sending me an " email - ( by clicking here ) " and I'll insure that the information is noted for their record.

Whether a soldier or sailor was " Killed In Action ", " Missing In Action ",
" Died of Wounds ", or even died in the " Line Of Duty " ......Whether a soldier or sailor was awarded medals or not ...... They are all
" HEROES "
in my book and deserve all the recognition they can get !!
