Alabama Soldiers’ Stories

Alabama Soldiers' Stories

​Hidden away where most of us never see, there are words engraved in the memories of Mothers and Fathers; Sons and Daughters; Brothers and Sisters; Wives and Husbands. Words that forever remind the ones who loved of the ones they knew - who served, who fought, who died. The Alabama Veterans Memorial Foundation is proud to share a few of these memories with you.
