This was typed and emailed to me from Kathy Mills who was in Texas and will soon be moving on to TN.  There are three other pages to this but I may cut them down as this one is taking or will taking  3:19 minutes to download over a slow internet connection...Thanks Kathy..... I try to pay tribute to the Veterans buried in our cemeteries so you see something different done when their names appear... It makes them stand out.... Happy Gene Hunting.  There are also photos on the Photo Gallery page but I don't know if these are the people among them... Hope to get more organized after the wedding is over... If you have any additions, corrections, or whatever feel free to click on my doggie to email me.... Thanks
