THE UNITED STATES ARMY
Army
From Continental Army to Counterinsurgency
The first of America’s armed forces was the Continental Army of
1775. It was made up of former British army soldiers and members of
colonial militias. Under the leadership of George Washington, it was
quickly embroiled in battle against British forces, employing what would
later be called guerilla tactics to hack away at British forces and their
mercenary allies. The Continental Army ultimately succeeded and at the
Treaty of Paris, the independence of the United States was recognized.
In 1791 a standing army was established. In the war of 1812 the
ground army stood strong, and scored a major defeat of British forces.
For the next decades the Army skirmished with Native Americans who
were trying to halt the rush of settlers migrating west. It also fought the
Mexican-American War, which gained for the United States an enor-
mous amount of territory.
With the Confederate States of America opening fire on the Union-
held Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, the bloodiest war in
U.S. history began. The superior industrial strength of the north and
sheer number of Union troops afoot, brought decisive end-of-war vic-
tories in Gettysburg and Vicksburg. After the Civil War, Army victories
in the Spanish-American War and Philippine-American War gained
much additional land for the U. S.
In World War I, Army troops helped breach German lines, aiding
the ultimate victory for the allied forces of Britain, France and Russia.
The United States joined World War II after the attack on Pearl Har-
bor. Army forces eventually helped capture Sicily and North Africa
and army soldiers by the thousands engaged the enemy courageously
on D-Day and in battles leading to the subsequent defeat of German

From a Grateful Nation
Our lives are bound at every turn to other people. We live in groups and
usually do what we can to make the life of the group a little better. No where is
this more evident than in the United States Armed Forces. Whether your loved
oneservedonetourofduty,orprovideddecadesofservice,thereisauniqueand
unbreakable bond among those who served. It is one of the few professions that
require a commitment to a cause greater than one’s own life. The profession of
arms revolves not around the tangible rewards associated with other endeavors
but rather around the intangible virtues of duty, honor and service.
Military service often comes with extreme hardship, suffering, separation
from family and trauma not only to service members but also to their loved
ones. It may also bring a sense of fulfillment and pride rarely achieved in other
vocations. Your loved one was part of this distinct group of men and women
who, at one time, stepped forward and said, “I will serve.”
Many, if not most veterans, go on to meaningful and rewarding careers af-
ter their service. Veterans contribute to society in an untold number of ways
and their time in uniform helped define them. Traits and skills learned are eas-
ily transferable and much needed in society. More importantly than job skills,
however, are the traits veterans learned while serving: courage, commitment,
selflessness, tenacity, the list continues. Veterans have been tested, many on the
battlefield, on or under the sea and in the skies above.
In this volume we honor the many Americans who have served, and in
doing so made great sacrifices; some even the ultimate sacrifice, so that we all
might live free.
A Memorial Tribute & Keepsake Volume
To Pay Tribute ...
The Great Longing. Throughout recorded history we humans have
grieved the passing of one of our own. The religions of the world have all
variously defined the great longing in the human heart to reach beyond this
mortal life. Because of the inevitability of death, the act of remembering de-
ceased loved ones has always been a way to hold the life of another in our
minds. Those associated with the military might perhaps have a better no-
tion of this tradition than others. The families of veterans understand in a
unique way that memory is a great teacher. What we share as humans is the
innate need, the great longing to remember those we have loved.
The particular qualities that endeared a loved one to us can and should
be passed on to others, stories of the bends and curves and blind corners of
a life; stories of triumph and service, of duty and honor. Our loved ones live
on in the hearts and minds of those who are left. The great longing is really
for an undying connection to those we love. Their character does not perish,
but lives on in those who have been affected by it.
In the following section we offer a record of the life of your loved one. It
is a place to set down the dates, the times, the images and the thoughts that
make up your loved one’s legacy and that will keep an eternal flame in your
heart and in the hearts of future generations.
