Thomas J. Minton, IV
Thank you for your courage to serve this great country to protect our freedom. You are my hero!
Thomas J. Gould
Thomas Gould enlisted in Company 1 of the 16th Maine Volunteers on July 19th, 1862 and served till June 5 of 1865, being honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant. He returned with a recurring case of malaria, and suffered all his long life from what today we would call PTSD. Read about his life in "A Maine Man in the Making," by his son, Franklin F. Gould.
Thomas H. MacDonald
My father was in the Army Air Corp and served in Europe. He was a navigator on a bomber flying from Italy to bomb the city of Dresden, Germany. On his last mission in November 1944, his plane was shot down over Czechoslovakia. A farmer picked him up and brought him to a village office. The Germans sent SS officers to transport him to Berlin for interrogation. All of the soldiers on his plane made it home safely from the war though my father did not see any of them until many years later, in the 1990's in Florida (he had a ME FORMER POW license plate.
Thomas D. Bouchard
I honor my uncle Thomas Bouchard. He was willing to give his life to save his comrades and to serve his country. May no one forget the sacrifices made by our Veterans!
Thomas A. Hart
I would like to honor my father. He served in The Army Air Force in North Africa. He was a Flight Engineer on a B-25 named "Double Trouble". Dad was a "Super Patriot" and loved his country.
The Watson Family
When World War II tolled around Bill Watson of Westbrook, Maine desperately wanted to go with his friends. He was found to have a critical civilian occupation and refused the right to enlist.
Stowell Eustis
I'm honoring my Uncle Stowell. Stowell was the oldest of ten children and a student at the University of Maine at Farmington when he was drafted. Stowell was a role model to his younger siblings. He was helping to support his family and going to school full time. He had to help support his brothers and sisters because his father was killed just a few years before he was drafted. Stowell knew he wouldn't make it back from Korea alive. How sad for his mother and siblings who had just lost their husband/father so tragically.
Steve Lyons
Marine Corps Sergeant Steve Lyons served just over 6 years as an active duty Marine. His duties included service with a number of combat ready units as an Artilleryman and as a member of the elite Marine Security for several U.S. Embassies, in Africa and Ireland.
