U.S. Airmen

“We honor the courageous service and sacrifice of the 84 young Servicemen (12 Air Force and 72 Marines; all heroes) who answered the call to serve their country. They were sons, brothers, uncles, cousins, spouses and fathers who were taken far too soon. May they never be forgotten.”

Contributed by Lisa Hollingsworth, daughter of Lance Corporal Alfred E. Peterson, U.S. Marine Corps (December 13, 1944 – June 25, 1965)
