One of the county-wide “yearbooks” published after the end of World War II was titled “Men and Women in the Armed Forces from Defiance County.” These books contain a roster of the known participants from the county who served in the war, along with brief biographical sketches and photographs of the soldiers, when available. However, as the authors of these publications acknowledge, not everyone was always included in these records. Free to search, read, and/or download.
This book is dedicated to the memory of those valiant men and women who made the supreme sacrifice in World War II, and to create a permanent historical record of those veterans of Defiance County who did their part to bring this world conflict to victory.
