The reason for omissions in the veteran's burials is that the form GR2,
American Legion was done circa 1940. Only veterans who had died by that
time will be listed here. Most are veterans of the Civil War and some are
WWI, but none from WWII or later.
I'm going to add the above to the website to help clarify that. Sorry
about the confusion.

Hi-
Thanks for all the help. Just shows people are reading and looking at
your lovely site. I do have a mouse but no view. The first page is the
same, Debby. I did find I see surnames by highlighting them. Works for
me.
Wonder where the Gill boys are?-Faye, Joseph, Charles????
I have tried to get my great uncle Harry C. Reeser's WWI monument-no such
luck. Government won't acknowledge his service years but he is on the
American Legion list and listed on this new site.. Really weird. Wonder
if my printing off his name on this Vets site would convince them in
Washington? Also there is one more Reeser brother Vet along with Harley
Ray and Harry C.---Charles [I got his monument several years ago.] Harley
was killed in France so Government acknowledges him, of course.
Thanks for all your work and thanks to all who cared about my not seeing
surnames problem.
