The Alger-Marion Township veterans honored here served in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Army Reserve, National Guard, and related units across conflicts and periods including the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Iraq War, and later twentieth- and early twenty-first-century service. The roll includes named individuals from the township and surrounding families, with some entries noting ranks, divisions, ships, theaters, decorations, prisoner-of-war status, and those killed in action, as well as memorial tributes to the dead and a separate remembrance for those who gave their lives in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
