Northport, NY was a patriot stronghold and gave many soldiers to the cause---just as it later did in the Civil War as a hamlet within the township of Huntington. Both conflicts spurred my very intense interest in history---American history particularly and military history especially. We would not be the great nation we are without having had countless, redoubtable citizen soldiers willing to sacrifice life and limb for our independence and freedom. They deserve to be remembered in every way possible, and in that vein, I seek to add faces and information to the gravestones of these valorous men to whom we owe so much. Others should join me in this effort, as volunteers dedicated to building this site for their perpetual remembrance---and, as a worthy resource for posterity's future writers, researchers, students and buffs. History demands nothing less.
