In Their Honor: The Men Behind the Names of Our Military Installations

From the earliest days of the founding of this country to the present, forts,camps, barracks, bases, and fields have been named after men who performed heroic deeds, demonstrated civic responsibility, or in some way gave their lives in the defense of our country. Mrs. Swink details biographic information about 524 of these men whose names were memorialized on the gates of these installations. All branches of U.S. service are included, both here and abroad.
