Service Notes Index Introduction 1950 to 2000

This Military Service Notes Index was created to provide recognition to the thousands of area men and women who served in the American armed forces in the years following World War II. This Index, beginning in 1950, covers a time period of numerous smaller, but no less deadly or important, conflicts. Military personnel during this period have not always been given proper recognition or honor for their service, and this Index attempts to identify and celebrate the efforts of these individuals. This Index originally aimed to cover 1950 – 2000, but it will be expanded beyond 2000 in the future.

The Index is arranged alphabetically by name, regardless of rank earned. Following the individual’s name, the branch of service is identified (if possible), the reason for the service note, and then the newspaper citation.
