Junaluska Soldiers in the Mid Twentieth Century
World War II and the Mennonite Brethren Church
The Mennonite faith stresses the value of non-violence and for that reason, some members of the church did not serve during World War II; however, there were still men in Junaluska (and a few from the church) that entered the military. Some of these men are pictured in the image of soldiers at Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, above. For a list of men who served in the military, see our <a href="http://junaluskaheritage.org/works-cited">resources page</a>.
