Honor Roll Project:  Shea-Magrath Memorial (Part 4)

In recognition of those who have served our country in the military, Heather Wilkinson Rojo of the Nutfield Genealogy blog started the Honor Roll Project.  It’s an opportunity to publicly document the names on military memorials around the world, thus making them easily searchable on the internet for people who are looking for them!

This post continues several I’ll post over time regarding the Shea-Magrath memorial at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, CT.  You can read the previous posts here, here, and here.  Today’s panel is for the Vietnam War.

MEMORY OF THESE BRAVE

Honor Roll Project: Shea-Magrath Memorial (Part 1)

In recognition of those who have served our country in the military, Heather Wilkinson Rojo of the Nutfield Genealogy blog started the Honor Roll Project. It’s an opportunity to publicly document the names on military memorials around the world, thus making them easily searchable on the internet for people who are looking for them!

This post is the beginning of several I’ll post over time regarding the Shea-Magrath memorial at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, CT. There are several panels with hundreds of names on it.
