Military Research

Military research should start first and foremost with our vets. The men and women who sacrificed so much to defend and uphold the freedoms that we all enjoy today because of what they believed in. Here we honor but a few of the vets whose stories have been recorded for posterity from Saginaw county. We urge all families to take the time to record the stories of the veterans in your own families and then make those stories known for others to read and share in, lest we forget.
