Did you know that there’s an Armed Forces Page on the black menu at the top of the site? Don’t bother checking it out. There’s nothing there. But maybe we could do something about that. Do you know a Sommerer who was or is active in the armed forces? Post the information that you know and maybe someone will compile it together for that page –I’m looking at you, Debbie.
I’m also looking for someone who would be willing to put this information together. I don’t even really know what should go on it. The address of people who are currently on active duty? Years of service? Branch of the service? Name, rank and serial number?
Anyone have an opinion?

Vernon has some wonderful stories as a military policeman during the war trials. He has a photo taken with Tojo who was executed and convicted along with 4 other leaders. I WISH we could get those stories from Mary Jane or Vernon!!!! Did you know he was proposed to by a Japanese lady (or maybe by her father)…..these stories are untold to most of the family and it just breaks my heart!

Mahlon started a listing of those he knew who had served. Of course it’s just a list of 23 people who he knew had served. Need more info on it.
