A great way to honor the fallen and those who served in defending freedom is to find their records and learn more about them. The Family History Guide has links to a wide variety of articles, videos, and records for those who served in the military from many countries. Also included are QUIKLinks that take you directly to record collection screens for FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, and Findmypast.
