420,000 Americans died in military service during World War II.

130 of them came from Knox County.

Join Debi Lehman, volunteer researcher for Stories Behind the Stars, as she shares some of their stories and discusses her research and her organization.

We hope also that attendees will share their own stories—or those of loved ones—who served in the conflict. Ms. Lehman is always looking to supplement her research with photographs, anecdotes, or other material that will allow others to know more about the lives of those who sacrificed so much for their country.
