Bio and Links
Bio Photo I live in Lodi, California.
****************************************
I am researching some of the 36,000-plus
Army Air Forces personnel who died in the
line of duty, in non-combat missions during the World War II era in service-related accidents.
They gave their all and died in the service
of their country, but received no purple hearts
and virtually no mention in the history books
and have largely been forgotten by time.

Please use the Edit tab, and select Suggest a Correction or Provide Additional Information to make any update requests. This is much easier to handle the issue, rather than a personal email.

If you choose to send an email regarding any memorial here, please be very specific who you are
referring to: Name, death year and cemetery name (if possible).

I am not related to anyone I have added here in the military category. I added all my ancestors nearly ten years ago.

I am happy to update any memorial, including family links. But I DO NOT like adding census information, copies of death certificates and please do not add long obituaries to the "photo" area. The information can be condensed and pasted into the bio area. I appreciate any information that can "round out" someone's bio.

From time to time I get emails asking me where I obtained the names of linked family members, etc.
I add information from update requests "at face value." I do not keep logs of who sent them to me, or when. If I don't see a conflict, I assume the info is accurate. The information I add is only as accurate as the source material.

RE: Lt. Luther Chase
I googled Window Rock, AZ and it is the capital of the Navajo Nation, so I don't know if it is in a county. Sounds like an entity of its own.

BUT, there is a Navajo Nation Cemetery in Red Lake, Coconino county, AZ.

finding some of the Indian cemeteries to enter veterans is certainly a challenge and I often throw up my hands and move on

Thank you for leaving the photo of Harry's name from the Tablet of the Missing on his memorial page. I appreciate you taking the time to do that.

After reading your bio, a memorial page that may be of interest to you would be Walter Bert Vincent, Jr. # 56134382. Walter's plane went down in 1944 and his remains were recovered in 2007. I attended his funeral at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa.

How can words express?
You've allowed me to see what I though I'd never see.
Thank you.
