Grave records for nearly 8,000 veterans
Nearly 150 histories of American military units
Over 200 first-hand accounts
Info. on medals, weapons, biographies, pay rates, etc.
The website is the home of the National Spanish American War Gravesite Recording Project. Be sure to have your relative included by providing the information required (seehttp://www.spanamwar.com/cemetery.htmhttp://www.spanamwar.com/cemetery.htm )
Lastly, as always, the website is free and simply there for your use.
