Saving a Town's Memories of its Greatest Generation



We all have an interest in saving the WWII memories of family members. Vic Cleary wants to preserve the memories of his entire town. Clarksburg Ohio's Courageous: WWII is his blog that seeks to honor the service of the 222 WWII veterans from Clarksburg and its surrounding rural township, which have rich military histories dating back to the Revolutionary War.
