We are seeking input regarding any veterans who have ever resided in Big Sandy Mush. Vance Garrett suggested and initiated this Veterans’ Project and several community members are helping out with gathering the information. We currently have more than 230 Veterans’ listed, but we are certain that there are others we have not yet listed. We also want to make sure we list anyone currently living in Big Sandy Mush who served our country. Please help us spread the word regarding this project, and send us names of those who have served. Please see the parameters of who we plan to include below the photo.
Please email information to Terri Wells at [email protected]

3.) We include persons who served in the active military, naval, or air service who were discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.

**Please note that we do not wish to exclude anyone, and we would eventually like to include everyone in the greater Sandy Mush area. But in order to do so we would need others to help from the community; our current volunteers feel that they are best equipped to focus on Big Sandy Mush, even this is a much larger undertaking than first anticipated. Thanks for your understanding and any assistance you can provide.
