Patriots

Olmste(a)d men and women in service of our country

HELP!  Please help with this page by identifying  individuals that should be listed.

At this time, this is just a series of notes on what could be on this page; some of which have been expanded as the beginning of real information. A listing of all veterans, particularly those from the Civil War and World War II could be extensive and might not serve any purpose. Also include KIA, MIA, & POW.

It will take time to comb my files for this information as it is not indexed. Please feel free to assist by providing individual names, extracted lists, etc. Please provide your source so that we may properly credit.

These lists are provided as a clue for membership in organizations such as the DAR; additional verification of service will be needed by those organizations. DAR includes those men and women in public office during the RevWar period as qualifying for membership; that should be a supplemental list. I will add patriot information & ID number from DAR or other similar societies as that is made available. Submit full name, short ancestral line if not listed in the 1912 genealogy, type of unit, dates of service, special notes, etc. For those that ancestors that are recorded as patriots for the DAR, SAR, and other hereditary organizations, please provide national registration identification.

Military cemetery burials. Currently, I have listed 344 burials in the cemeteries in the  Department of Veterans Affairs listings. A future, but almost impossible, project maybe a separate listing of community, private, & family cemeteries

Men and women currently in military service — give special emphasis to those in current battle zones (Iraq and Afghanistan). How do we find these? Many would be reservists.
