The Greatest Generation of Maverick County

From William Munter, Attorney At Law

I am writing a book “The Greatest Generation of Maverick County”. The Greatest Generation was coined by Tom Brokaw that describes the generation of Americans that grew-up in the Depression of 1929 and subsequently went to serve in WWII. The National WWII museum is now open in New Orleans, LA. I attended the New Orleans opening ceremony November 6-7, 2009. I am a Charter member of the museum. The museum is building a directory of WWII Veterans’ entitled “The Roll of Honor”.

I am needing every Maverick County Veterans of WWII to submit to the museum. The following are the Maverick County soldiers who gave their life during WWII. Some of these I know their background and some I do not. I would like to ask anyone who knows any veteran's history of Maverick County history to please email me the information to: billmunter@sbcglobal.net

The next list of veteran’s (approximately 400) of all veterans that served in WWII. I will be writing a short history of each veteran as my project continues.
