In honor of Memorial Day 2022, I found a relative via Family Search, Charles Russell, who was a farmer in Indiana that enlisted in the Army in 1918 only to die in France just months later. His headstone says, "Gave His Life For His Country".
I am his first cousin four times removed. Some of the dates are questionable but here's the link to Find A Grave:

The journey took 6 days as I drove a bit on Route 66 and I documented the trip. Here are the Links to see a bit more:
