Awarded AP Ribbon, World War II Victory Ribbon, American Defense Ribbon, and Good Conduct Medal. Honorably discharged. When the new book was being done, the way veterans were included was by family submitting the name, record and a picture. I think that this may have been true of the first one, as certainly the number of men covered in these books did not include everyone from Drew County who served. My husband is a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam. We were urged by Judge Dale Hughes and his wife Betty who was behind the memorial program, to send in information on my husband. Dale Hughes was also an Air Force Colonel and we kept in touch over the years. (Betty says that my husband is the reason that Dale Hughes dragged her around all over the world, as he inspired Dale to join). Had we not submitted the information, John Stanley Haisty would not be in the new book. Veteran of two wars, but only listed under Vietnam, with a reference to Korea. I am willing to do a look-up for anyone, just let me know.
