OUR FAMILY MILITARY HEROES

These are the heroes of the Lawrence Generations. Family members have served and fought for the United States since the Civil War. Over the years, we have committed ourselves to heroism not only for our country but also for our family. Initially, military service was our means to fight for freedom, and later it became a way to support our family's survival. It also provided opportunities for education and hands-on experience, leveraging educational benefits. Regardless of the reason, our family members joined with the goal of making the Lawrence Generations strong and proud.
