four men and one woman. truman sweet, orville sweet, george sweet w elmer sweet and claire sweet were all killed in world war ii. claire sweet served in the women s army corps. the first was jonathan sweet. the last sweet was elmer sweet in the vietnam war. in total, 14 members of the sweet family of williams town gave their lives in war, and so the name sweet maintains a sad and heroic dominance in the war memorial in williams town. anyone who believes that the highest honor you can achieve is to see your name on as many hotels as possible can t possibly comprehend true honor or service or sacrifice. one memorial day weekend a year will never be enough to honor the names on our war memorials. never.
