In honor of all the folks who came before, and will subsequently go, to war. I dedicate this page. We all do our part, some more than others but it is nice to know that the Vennards have not shirked the commitments put before them. I have tried to list by war, the participants. If I have missed someone my apologies and please let me know so I can add them to the roster.

I thank the following, one and all....
