I had the best of intentions, but you know how that goes... I've been working on putting together a list of all of the Elams and Elam descendants who have served in the military for the website. This isn't meant to be a memorial to just those who died in the service of their country, but to all who have served at any point in time. Here's who I have so far (bear in mind it's not in final form -- a very rough draft). Please let me know of anyone who I've missed. Thanks. Cassie AMERICAN REVOLUTION Godfrey Elam (1763-1845) Capt.
