Warren Countians have served in virtually all of the major military engagements that the United States has been involved in. Click on the conflict name above for partial listings as those from Warren County who served in those conflicts.
Our goal is to include all Warren Countians who served their country in the military either in peacetime service or during a conflict, whether living or deceased. Please send information with name, type of service, when served, photos (preferrably in uniform) etc. to Arne Trelvik and I will add them to the Warren County Military Heritage entries.

These publications relating to military service by Warren Countians are available from the Warren County Genealogical Society.
