Springfield, St. Mary's Church, Vermont Honor Roll, World War II


Honor Roll Project Submitted by Denise Picard Lindgren

Two framed Honor Rolls are hung inside the main entrance of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church (St. Mary’s), 10 Pleasant Street, Springfield (Windsor County), Vermont. The Pastor, Father Peter Y. Williams, has given me verbal permission to post these names.
The names written on the Honor Roll that hangs to the left of the door are as follows. Icons designate the branch of service in which the veteran served.

  1. A lovely way to honor these veterans during the week of Veterans' Day. Wouldn't it be great if a descendant of one of these vets found your blog and learned more about the family tree by seeing these names?

    1. Dear Marian, several descendants, relatives and army buddies have found familiar names on these honor roll posts. We've received a few emails and comments. Over time, I'm sure this will happen more and more!
