Berrien County salutes our past and present Military Personnel. Without them
protecting us through the years we truly could not be One Nation Under God, and
a Nation of free citizens. We respectfully bow to your courage. |
Please keep in mind that we are currently building this site
and we will honor the fallen veterans we know of within our community as
information becomes available or is donated to us. Contact - Bev Edwards |
