Spade Family American Military Veterans (77)
"I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...." If you have said these words as part of your oath of allegiance into one of the branches of the American armed forces, Thank You.

Welcome to our Spade Family in America web page honoring our (deceased) descendants and the spouses of Spade descendants of Anton and Rosina Dorothea (Wolf) Spade who have served the United States in our armed forces. Spade family descendants have honorably and courageously served in the military from the Civil War to the present.

This family will NEVER FORGET the sacrifices and patriotism demonstrated by our sons and daughters--either active, guard or reserves--and their immediate families. We thank you now and forever for keeping America free. You are our heroes and are an enduring example for all Americans.
