The success of our project is the result of countless hours of research contributed by librarians, journalists, genealogists, historians and indebted Americans mostly from Indiana. We wish to thank you in behalf of the families that you have touched and brought a brighter day and more genuine closure to the dreadful tragedies of over 60 years ago.

 

And to the families we offer extra thanks for digging up precious family photographs, and painful letters and obituaries so we could learn more about our fallen Indiana heroes. We apologize for reflecting back and returning the sting of death and pray the new blessings have already blessed your lives in a new way.

 

We pay tribute to our very special Hoosier men that fought to insure we have our wonderful freedoms but also especially want to extend our most sincere gratitude to our TEAM of volunteers that enable our successes and fantastic blessings.

  

We also pray we have not accidentally omitted or overlooked someone that has helped us. If your name does not appear on our list of distinctive volunteers please drop us a line and we will kindly add your name and apologize. We promise not to overlook any of you purposely but admit our undertaking is a much bigger endeavor than we had ever hoped to attempt. The successes are overwhelming and although we have found many families, we have only touched the surface of the task ahead.

 

We encourage you to stay enthusiastic and savor each success. Each one brings tears of happiness that are long overdue. God Bless you all and especially the families of our Indiana men that gave so much more.

 

We gratefully acknowledge these individuals and enterprises. We have a fantastic team!
