You will find on this page information on those that have served our country from Highland Township. Some died for their efforts and some received injuries that they never overcame during the remainder of their lifetime. For those who put their lives on the line for our freedom and ideals, whether they be our neighbors or family, we should be eternally grateful.

Any omissions are purely accidental and I welcome anyone who wants to submit an ancestor for inclusion here. We would hope that this page will not grow except to include only those that already have served during and armed conflict.
