Correction honors fallen soldiers … we will not forget

EDITOR
In the June 3 edition of the Merrill Foto News, we ran a list of known fallen soldiers from World War I to the present. However, I inadvertently missed an entire column of names from the Excel spreadsheet received from the VFW/Veterans Services, which listed the Wisconsin soldier who died in the Spanish American War and also a significant number of Wisconsin soldiers who died in World War I. I sincerely apologize for that.
I want to honor those soldiers who gave all, the ultimate sacrifice. Lest we forget, let us remember those who were not listed in the Memorial Day edition here and now:
