Hello everyone, On this Memorial Day, as we remember our service men and women, here are a few website suggestions. I encourage you to bring back to the list what you find on the websites about your own ancestors who served. We may find a connection through them ~ gone but not forgotten.

This database contains the names those women who were entitled to make the pilgrimage, as shown by department records on 15 November 1929. Each record provides the name of widow or mother, city and state of residence, and relationship to the deceased.
