Bio
I'm a retired Sergeant First Class Vietnam Era Veteran born and raised in Hutchinson.
The below is an example that you are prohibited from doing and that may endanger your Find a Grave membership:
Do not misrepresent your identity or your affiliations in any way to Find a Grave employees or representatives or other users of the Find a Grave website.
In regards to Military Ranks, this is
from the profile of FAG member #47190867 also a retired Army member and shares the same sentiments as I :
As for MILITARY RANKS: I received clarification by Find-A-Grave admin's that rank CAN be entered into the drop-down field OR in the bio. Find-A-Grave provides a drop-down field for this for a reason- to ensure our veterans are honored with the rank they achieved as per:
https://www.defense.gov/Help-Center/Article/Article/2746328/use-of-military-rank-by-retired-military-members/
and:
https://law.justia.com/codes/us/2014/title-10/subtitle-a/part-ii/chapter-45/sec.-772#:~:text=10%20U.S.C.%20%C2%A7%20772%20%282014%29%20%C2%A7772.%20When%20wearing,Air%20National%20Guard%2C%20as%20the%20case%20may%20be.
10 US Code 772 Section (e). A person not on active duty who served honorably in time of war in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps may bear the title, and, when authorized by regulations prescribed by the President, wear the uniform, of the highest grade held by him during that war. So please don't give me the DoD Regulations excuse.
ADDING OBITS: "Since the move to Ancestry and the new website, newspaper obituaries, death certificates and other scanned documentation is allowed. We encourage members to move the images down to the bottom of the photo display so that they are not the first thing you see when viewing a memorial page."
FAG's mission is to document. It's up to the community, which includes family members, to tell their story. We build on these memorials based on suggestions which FAG has set up. If FAG says that a veterans rank may be included by their guidelines, it should be honored, not left up to personal opinion. DoD protocols refer only to that of the living, not the deceased.
NOTE: If you're looking for loved ones that died in Missouri between 1910-1966, use the below link to search for their death certificates.

Our goal
Find a Grave's mission is to help people from all over the world work together to find, record and present final disposition information as a virtual cemetery experience.
Who is behind Find a Grave?
First and foremost, you are. Thousands of contributors submit new listings, updates, corrections, photographs and virtual flowers every hour. The site simply wouldn't exist without the million+ contributors. When it comes to administrating, building, maintaining and supporting the site, there are dedicated Find a Grave teams that help out on a daily basis.
