This first introduction of the Baldwin County Veterans book will be a continuing project in volumes and set alphabetically.

World War II was a global conflict on a scale which mankind had never before even imagined. Forty Million lives were lost before the first capitulation of the Avis powers on September 2, 1945. Armed Forces of the United States served all over the world, and it was decided that medals would be awarded for service in one of three carefully bounded and defined areas. The three areas taken to gather encompass the entire globe. The different Campaign Medals, and a World War II Victory Medal were issued for service in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War II. A Bronze Campaign Star Medal was authorized to be worn on the Ribbon Bar of the Medal for service in a specified campaign. A Silver Star Medal is worm in lieu of five bronze stars. A Bronze Arrowhead Medal was authorized by the Army to be worn on the campaign medals to denote invasion participation. The Navy authorized the wearing of a small Marine Corps device, to indicate naval personnel serving with the Marine Corps. unites. Campaign Medals The Victory Medal, World War I.
