The patch in the profile photo was actually worn in England, France, Netherlands and as a P.O.W. in Germany during WWII.

Through the trying times of WWI, on many of the Individual Deceased Personnel Files, it shows many of the troops of the 7th Armored Division as being in the 5th Armored Division. This is inaccurate. The 46th and 47th Armored Infantry Battalions were in the 5th A.D. However the 48th Armored Infantry Battalion was indeed in the 7th A.D.

This page is dedicated to the honorable men of the 7th Armored Division during WWII who sacrificed their lives not only for their country but the entire world, and for those "Who Came Home" and have since passed away. I am honored to maintain this page for these heroes.

Out of the known 1370 deaths and M.I.A's of the 7th Armored Division in Europe, we have located Find A Grave listings of approximately 1360 listings. Many are listed under our virtual cemeteries. If you happen to know of any 7th AD not listed, PLEASE contact us. We are very grateful to all of those who have transferred accounts to us.

From August 1944 until May 1945, the 7th Armored Division was awarded;

Congressional Medal of Honor, 2

Distinguished Service Cross, 9

Silver Star, 351

Bronze Star, Total unknown at this time.

Heroic Service, 888

Meritorious Service, 1047

Purple Hearts 1,211

You may view Wesley Johnston's website www.7tharmddiv.org for this is where I find valuable information and the history of the 7th Armored Division.

Part of the 7th AD was formed from the "Alaskan Defense Command", which fought in the Aleutians. You will also find a Virtual Cemetery title "Aleutian Islands" which is comprised of the ADC and the 7th Infantry Division who died in the Aleutians.

Much of the information provided is by the Dutch non-profit Fields of Honor Foundation. It is the foundation's mission to give a face to the names of the U.S. WWII soldiers buried in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

**** In the virtual cemetery Individual Deceased Personal File (IDPF), many of the troops were noted as being in the 5th Armored Division. Being very trying times and the 5th AD was only 100 miles away, this is inaccurate.

Unrelated to my quest of the 7th Armored Division, I have placed other virtual cemeteries. These are for the honorable men of the Choctaw, Comanche, Sioux, Meskwaki and Navajo Nations. Until recent years, they have often been ignored and forgotten. These unsung heroes are simply known as "Code Talkers" of both , WWI and WWII

Please visit Bob and Nancy Cannon's site to view other military medal recipients and Shane O, Jeff Hunt and Russ Pickett for other WWII deaths.

I know there are so many, but so many have been forgotten. Please do not let time forget them.

Thank you sincerely

A Son of the 7th...

Under wandering stars I've grown,

By myself but not alone"
