*If viewers of this Virtual Museum see errors or omissions that they can correct, such as misspelled names, missing names, or missing hometowns, editors of the Virtual Museum will appreciate being informed. For various reasons, including the great passage of time, it has been difficult to compile complete, accurate lists of veterans. Corrections and additions can be transmitted to israelvets-director@jou.ufl.edu
