'Do you know these WWII veterans?': Missouri historical society asks for help in identifying unnamed heroes
Fox News
The McDonald County Historical Society in Missouri is trying to identify 65 unnamed American veterans whose photos are collected in an album showcasing young men who served in World War II.
"There are roughly 115 veterans in the album that needed to be identified," Hazel Sheets, director of the McDonald County Library in Pineville, Missouri, told Fox News Digital. "She was a surrogate mother to all of the kids walking to school and became more than that … She became a very beloved character in our county." "Every once in a while we hit gold and somebody calls in." Gretchen Eichenberg is a contributing reporter for Fox News Digital.
When she inherited the project — known as the "Bonnibel Sweet Album" — Sheets began submitting photos of the unidentified veterans, one at a time, to the local newspaper and posting them on social media in the hope that someone might recognize a family member or family friend.
