In commemoration of Veterans Day, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of the members of the military who have selflessly served their fellowmen and this great country, the United States of America.
I also wanted to list my ancestors who have contributed to keeping these United States a free nation. There may be some I missed because I am not aware of their service at this time. If that is the case, I hope to update this list later.

Wonderful post, Jana! Lots of good family history there to research. Looks like both of our fathers served in Korea.

I love how you listed all of your veterans - great idea. I thought about listing all of mine but just focused on a few this year. I think I'll start working on my post for next year now!
