Unsure if it's for you? Try it out first. Give us some basic information and we'll let you know what we can do.

OUR MISSION:

Legacies of Service uncovers the military experiences of United States servicemembers.  Many families do not have a lot of information about their loved one's experiences or may be mistaken about the true nature of their family member's service. 

We seek to uncover the truth and provide a wholistic portrait of their military experiences.  The Legacies of Service founder, Alex Beckstrand, uniquely combines his practical military knowledge with the skills of a professional historian to more effectively provide families with the stories of their military past. 

We go above and beyond what typical researchers provide by personalizing the experience of every client - from the greater depth of archival research to the historical context of events to the unique final products presented to families.



OUR VISION:

At Legacies of Service, we are committed to upholding the honor of military service, to uncovering the truth of the history, and to making clients proud of their heritage.
