They Shall Grow not Old

'They shall grow not old, as we that are left

grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years

condemn;

At the going down of the sun and hi the

morning we will remember them."

A MEMORIAL PLAQUE, in tribute to

those of our community who served in the

armed forces and in memory of those who

made the supreme sacrifice, has been

mounted on a boulder placed in a newly

created Memorial Park. The property,

owned by the City of Pleasant Ridge, is

situated on Woodward Avenue between

Elm Park and Oakland Park Boulevards.

The appreciation of all citizens is due a

resident of our city who generously do-

nated the plaque but wishes to remain

anonymous.

Foreword

A LTHOVGH EVERY EFFORT has been made to

/A assemble complete and accurate information for in-

clusion in this booklet, unavoidable deficiencies and, per-

haps, errors have occurred. For such, your committee asks

your forebearance.

Information was secured from all individuals wishing to

participate. Designations were checked with official military

sources and obvious discrepancies corrected. In some cases,

information on "Battles and Campaigns," "Decorations and

Citations" and other data was not supplied and therefore

could not be included in the record.

Due to the diffculty in differentiating between training

and active duty stations, reference to domestic service loca-

tions has been omitted. When available, specialized duty

activities have been shown.

For those still on active duty the rank or rating may have

changed since the time the data for the record was compiled.

Dates listed in roster indicate period of active duty.

Key to Abbreviations

Due to the wide variety of enlisted men's ratings used by the Armed Forces, par-

ticularly the Navy, and the great number of military establishments existing during

World War II, the following key to abbreviations is provided. Many of the ratings

have since been changed and many of the station designations were changed several

times during the war. The designations were correct, however, as of the dates of

service of the veterans.
