Welcome to Veteran Tributes!  Our goal is to pay tribute to all military  personnel, from every service branch, and from every time period in American History.  These are  the brave men and women that have sacrificed to keep this nation free for the  last 239 years and they deserve our respect.   On this site you will find tribute pages for Medal of Honor Recipients,  Prisoners of War, Generals and Admirals, as well as the Soldiers, Sailors,  Airmen, and Marines that nobody has ever heard of...they all performed  honorable service to this nation, and many of them gave their life to keep us free.
        "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of  things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which  thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for  which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own  personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and  kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
              
          -John Stuart Mill
