Famous Soldiers

Famous Soldiers

Bronze Star	Official Seal of the Army	Medal of Honor
Images courtesy of Maj. Joseph A. Madagan, USAR Ret. ('57) of FL - 06/25/04 Thanks, Joe!

This list is comprised of people whose main fame comes from their life OUTSIDE their military service,
and should not be confused with "Noteworthy Soldiers", although the two are not mutually exclusive.

NOTE: This page is in the process of being separated into smaller sections. This will allow for greater stability,
ease of updating, and much faster uploading for you. The last section (S - Z) has already been removed to its own page.
I have a long list of additions and corrections to add once this process is completed. It's both tedious
and time consuming, and I apologize for any errors that may creep in during that time period.
Thanks for your patience.
