Enfield has always been a very patriotic town with many of their citizens serving during peacetime and war. This site is dedicated to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. We honor and remember each of them.
Great care has gone into researching the names of the fallen for each of the United States wars. Only the names with proven documentation have been listed. If you have documentation for a fallen service member that is not listed on this site, please email us.
