Description
The paper presents brief stories, mainly taken from data published in articles in Prosveta (Enlightenment), the daily newspaper of the Slovene National Benefit Society (SNPJ), of the lives and especially the military careers of 64 members of this organisation in the US armed forces, who fell as members of the Army, Army Air Force, Navy and Marines in European and Pacific battles during the Second World War. They were mostly boys and young men, usually single, born in the USA, the majority of whom had Americanised first and last names, with at least secondary school education, from numerous families which had several sons in the US armed forces at the same time, and the great majority of whom, at least 30, were from the state of Pennsylvania.

      • V prispevku so predvsem po podatkih, objavljenih v člankih dnevnika Prosveta, glasila Slovenske narodne podporne jednote (SNPJ), kratko prikazana življenja in zlasti vojaška pot 64 pripadnikov te organizacije v oboroženih silah ZDA, ki so padli v kopenski vojski, letalskih silah kopenske vojske, mornarici in v mornariški pehoti na evropskih in pacifiških bojiščih med drugo svetovno vojno. Šlo je predvsem za fante in mlajše moške, praviloma neporočene, rojene v ZDA, večinoma z amerikaniziranimi imeni in priimki, z vsaj srednješolsko izobrazbo, iz številnih družin, od katerih je bilo nekaj sinov takrat hkrati v oboroženih silah ZDA, velika večina, vsaj 30, pa jih je bilo iz zvezne države Pennsylvanije.
