Veteran Day Dedications: 2019

Veterans Memorial – East Prairie Missouri

As is our annual tradition we will be posting dedications honoring our family's veterans by recognizing their service. Beginning today, and continuing through mid-November, we will post at least one article a day commemorating a family member who served in the military whether in war or times of peace. We will post more than one a day on many days. Feel free to post your own service pictures, letters and memorials, here in the Littrell Family [Facebook] Group page.

• To view these daily post go to the family’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/littrellfamily.net/) or to view the post directly use the Table of Contents (in the right-hand column) and make your selections in the “Military Roll Call Section”.

These commemorations will be based on, but not limited to, the 35 family Veterans commemorated in the book “The Littrell Family Journals Volume III: Military Roll Call”.
The Veteran dedications will be listed in groups by the era in which they served.
If you have information on a family Veteran who is not mentioned in the book, or additional information please provide that information (pictures, stories, newspaper clipping, memorials, etc.,) to me at the reunion, or via the email or postal address below
Please, the commemorations we are talking about are not just for blood-line descendants... they can include spouses too.

2019 Littrell Family Reunion: October 19, 2019

descendants of John & Kizzie Comer Littrell

How to get to the reunion:

www.littrellfamily.net is an open website, meaning anyone can view it, for this reason we limit the information we post here. We do not share the reunion site address here as it is a private residence all year round.

The reunion site is the same place as the last 7 years. If you haven't been there then try to contact a first cousin or any cousin who has been there for directions.
We have a Facebook group page that you can request membership in and once your membership is approved you will have access to more specific information. If you aren't on Facebook email me at indianaglenn@gmail.com 

Please don't wait to the last minute to get information as those of us trying to coordinate things will be busier as the date approaches. At some point we will be unreachable by internet as there is no internet on-site.

Presently we advise everyone coming to make lodging arraignments soon. On the day of the reunion** we can have a meeting point in Doniphan for those who don't know the way. {email me if you want to set this up)
