Military History
Information found here traces the military history of the Martin-Haile family. Our ancestors participated in a majority of the wars and military campaigns of the United States. I have collected biographies and military unit histories from various resources to record the history of the sacrifices made my these men and women, as well as all men and women who have served this country.
