Those Who Paid the Ultimate Price
The following is a list of the 101 servicemen from Riley County who are known to have died in service to their country during the Second World War. Their backgrounds were diverse and so was the nature of their service. All, however, deserve equal recognition for their sacrifice made on our behalf. Once forgotten, let them now be remembered.
Please help us in our effort to remember these veterans. Many of their bios are lacking any content. Anyone with information related to any of the men included below are encouraged to contact us at peacememorialmanhattan@gmail.com
We are particularly interested in photographs, letters, service documentation, and any other forms of personal documentation that may help us to create a more complete memorial. Help us to help others remember those who served.
