4 INTRODUCTION

Many Americans recognize and appreciate the influence of our Founding Fathers in shaping the early character and history of the United States of America. Guiding their young country with military, civic and historical wicdom, these "Soldier-Statesmen" bequeathed a proud legacy of leadership, commitment and dedication to public service.

It is important for Americans to recognize, as well, that each state can take a special pride in its own Soldier-Statesmen, exceptional patriots whose rich legacy of service, achievement and dedication to state and nation endures. The military service of thz Soldier-Statesmen of the States likely influenced their thinking and the political courses they chose including, for some, ratification of the United States Constitution and subsequent attainment of statehood and admission to the union.

Although not exhaustive, this compendium of selected veterans illustrates their incredible record of public service during various periods of American history. This information booklet has been compiled to help us understand the character and accomplishments of the Soldier-Statesmen of each state. Additionally, it provides valuable biographical information on these important Americans who may serve as the focus for commemorative events and educational programs to include: wreath ceremonies at interment sites; dedication of buildings, parks and plazas in the name of a particular Soldier-Statesman; or naming a distinguished award, decoration or ceremony on the individual's behalf.
