DICKINSON COUNTY. IOWA

WORLD WAR II VETERANS
WHO PAID THE SUPREME SACRIFICE
December 07, 1941 ~ December 31, 1946

In every town, on every street,
There’s something missing –
The tread of feet, of all the boys
We used to know,
And days are weary and nights are long,
We miss them so.

~ The Terrill Record, Terril, Iowa, Thursday, December 14, 1944, Page 1
