The Crittenden Press, in recognizing the county's native military personnel killed in action, is seeking photos of the following World War II and Korean War soldiers, sailors and airmen to include in our annual Memorial Day tribute to those who gave their lives for this country. We have already acquired photos of all men killed in Vietnam and most during World War II.
If you have any photos of the men, please contact The Press at thepress@the-press.net.
