Here I plan on putting up list of Knox county residents who have enlisted into the arm forces of the United States during WWII. This will be a slow process as I am finding the information from old newspapers from the 1940's All will be listed in a flat page, when the list gets to large for this I will break them up into a menu.
If you have a loved one that your are proud of and wish to add his name or achievements to this list , please email me at stangle150@sbcglobal.net
