It is only the details of how he lived,

In Memory


         The following list was created in the memory of the brave men and women from " Sweetwater County " that " Gave Their All " for their State and Country during World War II.   Soldiers, Sailors and Merchant Mariners, are all included on this listing.

         There are personal " Online Memorials " for each of these honored men and women that were created for them by using the " Find A Grave Website ".   On the " Majority " of the online memorials you will see a small biography for each soldier which may include:

Parent's, Grandparent's & Sibling's Names,
where & when they were born,
where they grew up,
when & where they enlisted in the service,
the military unit they were part of,
" AND "
where and how they actually died during the war !

If you see one without a biography, picture, or you have more information on them please send me an Email at

russpickde@comcast.net - ( or by clicking here )

I'll update their records as quickly as possible .....

Sweetwater County had a total of:

" 57 "

Soldiers, Sailors & Merchant Mariners who
" Gave Their All "
during World War II !

Information was used from the following link for the
" Army & Air Force Records "
at National Archives for this report:
" Sweetwater County, Wyoming "

" Multiple Links "
at the National Archives were used for the
" Navy & Coast Guard "
for this report.

         Also please note:   The records show these men and women as either enlisting, being originally from, or having strong ties to " Sweetwater County ".

         On some of the records you will note that the "Cemetery/Memorial" column shows "unknown".   If you know where any of these men or women are interred please let me know by sending me an "email - (by clicking here)" and I'll insure that the information is noted for their record.

Whether a soldier or sailor was " Killed In Action ", " Missing In Action ",
" Died of Wounds ", or even died in the " Line Of Duty "   ......   

Whether a soldier or sailor was awarded medals or not   ......   

They are all
" HEROES "
in my book and deserve all the recognition they can get !!
