The Honor Roll
This Honor Roll is dedicated to all of the men and women through the ages who answered the call to serve our country. Whether that service was performed in time of war or in peacetime, we salute those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, as well as those who gave a portion of their lives to stand ready to defend the freedom of our country. We cannot repay them for their service, but we can acknowledge it by paying tribute to their role in our country's security.
All names on the Honor Roll are listed below, by section.
The following lists are arranged by war and post war-time periods. Many veterans are listed by high school graduation dates and may have served in the next time period or may have performed their service in other assignments than the war indicated. Sources for the names were the Upper Moreland High School Honor Roll, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3612, American Legion Post 308, the records of Boy Scout Troop 354 Alumni and direct responses from veterans or their families.
