Acknowledgments

 

A work of this magnitude would have not been possible without the assistance of the U.S. Army Finance Corps and the families of the Finance Corps Honor Roll.  Every effort has been made (i.e.; through research, personal contacts, letters, etc.) to reach a family member of each soldier.  I owe a deep debt of gratitude to the Chief of the Finance Corps Regiment and Henry Howe (Curator, U.S. Army Finance Corps Museum), but especially to the soldier’s family who grateful shared their support, time, pictures, and memories that never would have been available from any other source.  The following individuals are responsible for making this web site a reality.
