Orange Veterans Military Honor Wall.

 

In Honor of the Orange Lions Who Served

 

1. If you notice it looks like a lot of veterans graduated in 1943. There were no yearbooks during the WW2. I just put in a year of 1943 to fill out the form. 

 

2. Here is a list of those Orange Veterans that were Killed in Action and their story.
