The size of a community does not equal the measure of the hearts of those who live there. In times of crisis, ordinary sons and daughters of the greater Stanwood area responded with extraordinary commitment. Neither embracing the dangers of service nor shirking from them, they, often with quiet grace, accepted their moment of purpose even to the point of death. Families hold the memories of those soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice during conflict-their bodies lying in sacred soil stretching from the fields of France to the volcanic islands of the South Pacific, the jungles of Asia or beneath the great blue waters of the world's oceans. The idea for this book grew with the desire to pay homage to the lost and loved of the Stanwood Camano area.
