In every war in which our country has been engaged, a full quota of soldiers has been furnished from Old Abington. After 1874, the Towns of Abington, Rockland and Whitman continued that tradition. Devotion to the duties of citizenship by way of military service remains strong in all three communities.
Realizing that our nation can rise no higher than its source – its people – The DML&A honors Abington, Rockland and Whitman Veterans who serve as an example of working toward the best interests, the advancement, and the prosperity of our nation.
The DML&A is fortunate to have an extraordinary collection of records, documents, letters, photos, and artifacts from Old Abingtonians who served during King Philip's War (1675-1678) to the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) as well as information about those who served from the Towns of Abington, Rockland and Whitman after 1874 when the towns divided, up to World War II (1941-1945).
From the Korean War era to the present, the DML&A has little to no information about Abington, Rockland and Whitman's Veterans. We want to fill this profound gap in our collections. We need your help.
