During World War II, from 1941 to 1945, the Town of North Haven honored its sons and daughters who served the country in a time of need. They sought not personal glory but the preservation of liberty and freedom, offering their lives so that justice, freedom, and democracy might survive to serve the ideals of the peoples of the world. The recorded service included hundreds of named individuals, among them prisoners of war, those killed in action, and one listed as missing in action.
