My mother's ancestors from Virginia fought in the revolutionary war. I joined the Daughters of the American Revolution for its deep resources for genealogy and US history. Here's a link to a DAR publication with a little piece I contributed about three brothers who all were WWII heroes. If you visit the DDay memorial in Normandy, you'll see Earl Parker's name on the wall. The stories are in this link.
