Memorial Listing
Yuma County, Colorado
Gold Star
Veterans
Buried Outside the County
The base list of veterans buried in Yuma County was compiled by local
veterans groups for Memorial Day. A special thanks to the late Stephen Chaplin
for providing dates (and many names) for veterans who died after 1990. It is the creation of Sergeant Major Lee Zion, U.S. Army.
The file contains: Veteran's name; war (if service was in war time), rank,
unit and branch of service; birth-death dates (if known). Dates are all in
mm/dd/yyyy format. This listing doesn't distinguish between Spanish American
War service in 1898 and Philippine War service 1899-1902.
Bold print indicates those who died on active duty. Bold
underlined print is a link to a page in the Gold Star Veterans Project with more information
about the service member.
If you have corrections or additions to this listing please send the details
in an email to M. D. Monk, mdmonk2@tx.rr.com.
