Military Heroes of Anton Chico

By Daniel B. Flores

Military Heroes of Anton Chico is about the brave men from the Anton Chico area that have answered to call to duty and served in the Armed Forces of the United States. Included are soldiers from the Civil War, Worlds War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It is the fifth book in a series of military heroes from the Guadalupe county area. It follows Military Heroes of Guadalupe County, books I, II and III, as well as Military Heroes of Puerto de Luna. Military Heroes of Anton Chico includes biographic sketches of the eight soldiers who have made the Supreme Sacrifice, those who died while defending their country. One soldier made the ultimate sacrifice in World War I, four lost their lives in World War II and three lost their lives in the Vietnam War. There is also an alphabetical list of all the men who were drafted for military service in World War I. The list is a composite of 114 enlistees from Anton Chico, Dilia, La Loma, and the surrounding areas. A Blue Star Families section includes three families who had several sons serving in World War I and World War II. All the sons of the three families returned home safely. The rest of the book includes sketches about other service men from the area. It includes some who were not living in Anton Chico when they served, but eventually settled in Anton Chico. Many of those from Anton Chico who did serve eventually moved away from the area after their military service. The section is intended to be representative of the young men who served in time of war. It is not all inclusive.
