The Ames Historical Society had their World War II Veterans Index online in time for Veterans Day. This contains nearly 5300 service personnel from all branches, both from Ames and throughout Story County, Iowa. There are thousands of scanned articles, photos, and other materials available online.
Preparing this information for online availability was aided with a grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa. Learn more about the creation of this material during WW II and its history in this Ames Tribune article. The Ames Historical Society.also describes how it came to be available online.
As an example of the range of information that may be found, see the entry for Ralph L. Miller.
Note that the Ames Historical Society welcomes additions to the project.
