I am part of a family project to help better identify seamen, airmen, and soldiers who died during WWII, using a combination of Ancestry.com, national repository sources, and Newspapers.com (as of May, 2024). During this extensive project, we hope to bring recognition to our fellow service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom and justice.

I am a U.S. Navy OEF veteran, and my father is a U.S. Air Force Desert Storm/OIF veteran. Our family has a rich military history going all the way back to the birth of the U.S., with every generation serving in varying aspects of this country such as the secret service, minutemen, and almost everything else in between.

I do my very best to be as precise as possible when editing memorials, and never add or update information unless I have a credible source. I also always cite my sources and double check the original document (when available) to ensure accuracy. Having said that, if an error is found in any citations or source documents, please message me so that I can see where I made the error and correct it.

03-10-2025: For the past month, I have been going back over and error checking my records from the beginning, and will be doing so for the next couple of months. After that, I will be going through my contributions here to check for errors and add new information with my Newspapers.com account.

4-18-2025: Returning to normal operations.
