OLLI Brown Bag Lunch & Learn Lecture Series - May

Marietta National Cemetery – Walking Through World War II

Loren Plisco is an amateur genealogist and board member of the Cobb County Genealogical Society. He is also a volunteer for Stories Behind the Stars (SBTS), a national non-profit organization that is writing stories about the 420,000+ fallen heroes in World War II. He served on submarines in the US Navy, worked as an engineer and manager for the federal government, operated a small consulting company, and is now fully retired. He is also a part-time instructor for OLLI.

As a volunteer researcher for SBTS, Loren has identified around 360 WWII fallen heroes who are interred or memorialized in the Marietta National Cemetery (MNC). In December 2025, SBTS volunteers completed stories for these WWII fallen in MNC. In this presentation, Loren will use the stories of some of these fallen to walk through the major campaigns and events of World War II.
