Small Town'S Contribution

To Serve Is To HonorTo honor ones country.To honor ones family.To honor ones fellow man, and to honor ones faith.These are the qualities of the people represented in this work.A Small Towns Contribution was written to pay tribute to The Greatest Generation, whose willingness to put themselves in harms way,and to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others, paved the way for the rest of us to enjoy the freedoms we do.The citizens of Platte, South Dakota served honorably, alongside their brethren, and deserve to be remembered.These pages reflect a sampling of stories from Platte residents who served in the Armed Forces during World War II.
