The Veterans on this list have been gathered from a variety of sources, including cemetery transcriptions, lists I have on this site and communications from researchers, residents and our military folks themselves. Some of the names have no info or scant info. They came from just lists of names I found, in particular, a list of KIA in WWI and WWII from Kiowa County. These men and women served our country during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Enduring Freedom, in peace time and in war. Young men and women from Kiowa County are serving in Iraq now, and are stationed in foreign posts around the world. They are and were members of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines. Some on this list did not make it home and are resting in a foreign land, far from home and family.
I am sure I have not found all our service men and women. If I have missed your family member, please let Ethel Taylor, know and I will get them listed. A huge thank you to all the researchers, visitors and Kiowa County friends and family, that have sent me names and information, since I put up the first pages in this section in 1998.
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need."

Kiowa County was also home to our very own Medal Of Honor Recipient, Col. Jack Lemaster Treadwell, a Snyder graduate, member of Oklahoma's famed 45th Division, and holder of over 40 medals.
Another well-known Oklahoma soldier with Kiowa County connections is General Tommy Franks.
Also at rest in Kiowa County are veterans from the War Between The States, 1861-1865 . If you happen to know of other WBTS Veterans in Kiowa County, please let ME know. I will be happy to ad them.
Some of the first residents of the county became Indian Scouts for the US Army. I found these in the Tribal Cemeteries in the county. They are veterans, too.
