Check other Lucas County war dead rosters, too

Dedication of Veterans Memorial Park last Memorial Day.

The rosters of Lucas County's war dead --- from Civil to Somalia --- are almost complete, barring additions or corrections from those, perhaps you, who read them and make suggestions. So take a look if you've got the time. I posted the Civil War roster yesterday.

Later on this spring, the names will be inscribed in granite and then placed in Veterans Memorial Park as a lasting tribute. While names can be added later, it certainly would be a positive thing to get them all right the first time. That's a challenge, however.

These are not official lists --- such things divided by county do not exist. And they're intended to be generous, incorporating all who might have considered themselves Lucas Countyans even though they might have been living or working elsewhere when they enlisted or were drafted.

If you have additions or corrections to make, leave a comment on this blog post or on any of the links to it posted on Facebook.
