USA SERVICE MILITARY-SURNAME:FOUNTAIN 761 soldiers, FONTAINE-543 solidiers
No one can dispute the importance of the contribution of these brave men and women to the maintenance of democracy and freedom to the American people and to the globe. My effort attempts to present a small picture of those individuals with the Surname Fountain and Fontaine who were involved in the military efforts of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam Military Conflicts , and those who died and/or were taken prisoner for a period of time. I also found a few instances of individuals who received awards in various theatres of war.
translation:
Personne ne peut contester l'importance de la contribution de ces braves hommes et femmes au maintien de la démocratie et de la liberté du peuple américain et du monde. Mon effort tente de présenter une petite image de ces individus avec le nom de famille Fountain et Fontaine qui ont été impliqués dans les efforts militaires de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de la Corée et des conflits militaires du Vietnam, et de ceux qui sont morts et/ou ont été faits prisonniers pendant un certain temps. J'ai également trouvé quelques exemples d'individus qui ont reçu des récompenses sur divers théâtres de guerre.
