KIDD World War II Soldiers

IN HONOR OF THOSE
WHO GAVE ALL

KIDD World War II & Korean Soldiers

Our soldiers and families of World War II and Korea are known as "The Greatest Generation", and they most assuredly earned that title in immense economic hardship, blood, sweat, and tears.
The years of the Great Depression leading up to the start of World War II saw some of the hardest living since the days of the Civil War. But those hard years forged a generation with the strength, grit and will of iron to defeat the Axis Powers of Europe and the Japanese Empire.
