When tyranny threatened, our nation summoned its will and its young men.

Sons and brothers from Maine, the closest state to the bloodshed in France, were among the first called. From Franklin County, thirty-three who answered paid the highest price.

To ensure that their sacrifices will not be forgotten, we choose to honor their histories. We choose to recognize their bravery and service. We choose to remember them.

This is how. 

Let us never forget their names, their stories, and their legacy.

This is a living project.

Do you have a relative or know someone who may have more to add to these stories? So little is known about many of these men who answered their country’s call to serve.

Help add to their story by sharing family history, photos, and other details of the legacy we are creating here. Glenn Miller would love to hear from you. Contact him here.
