Duty Becomes Hobby For 2 Men Scanning War Vet Records
Rolf Rynning and Russell Sieger, Memorial Day decorating leaders, have spent 20 years compiling military records of veterans buried in La Crosse cemeteries. They aim to publish a card index by wars, seek missing records, and have traced hundreds from War of 1812 to Civil War and World Wars. They request information from the public to complete their roster and extend their project.
