Some time ago, doing my research related to the Wahrmund family, I came across
Veterans of Gillespie County Photo Album. It inspired me to find out more about those Wahrmund men who served in the Army, fought in wars, or were exempted from the service because of various life circumstances. Here is the result of my work.
All the men mentioned below were related. To understand better the family connections they shared, I gave the details regarding the family line of each one of them (besides the Gillespie County pioneers whom I wrote about in the two previous posts).

WWII
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, "Harper Herald" published an article that contained the information on the Gillespie man who had been in the Pacific Ocean on 6 December. The article mentioned also Louis Wahrmund who served on the tug boat USS Sunnandin (AT-28). The craft was in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked by the Japanese army (36).
Louis Martin Wahrmund was born on 3 August 1920 in Fredericksburg Texas to Mr.
Kurt Wahrmund and Miss
Bertha Ingenhuett (37).
Louis was enlisted on 9 October 1937, he was on board of Sunnadin on 7 August 1939. He was seaman 2nd class then. The records show Louis served with
COMSERVPAC (service Force) a support command of the United States
Pacific Fleet (38). On 18 March 1945, the man was promoted to chief yeoman (39). Louis Martin was on Sunnandin's muster roll till the end of the war.
A few years later, on 28 Nov. 1953, Louis was commissioned and became an ensign, his signal number was 24187, he was registered as a limited duty officer (40).
I found more details about Louis Martin Wahrmund and his career in the Biographic Register of the Department of State (41).
Transcription
The note states he was married but I did not find who his wife was. L.M. Wahrmund graduated from Hawaiian University with a Bachelor's degree in 1949. As I found out earlier, he was with the US Navy from 1937 to 1945. Up to 1962, he served as lieutenant commander overseas.
Louis' private experience
From 1962 to 1964 he worked as an English teacher in public schools,
when he quit teaching he worked for Agency for International Development.
From 1963 to 1964 he was an administrative assistant overseas contractor (in Saigon R-5 area development officer April 1964, operating deputy officer October 1964),
R-4 deputy regional director August 1966,
Agency employee development officer August 1966,
Vientianne area coordinator April 1967,
Saigon assistant development officer in February 1969.
Louis Martin Wahrmund probably passed in 1964 but I did not come across any details on the day of his death.

Alonzo Wahrmund (b. 6 February 1922, Gillespie, TX (42)/d. 12 June 2007)
The man was registered for Selective Service Military Training in 1942, his order number was 10654 (43). Alonzo's name was on the Gillespie County Honor Roll published in The Harper Herald on Friday, 31 September 1943 (44) - from 1942 to 1946 he served with the 100th Air Service Squadron 58th Service group.
After the honorable discharge (45), Alonzo was welcome home with a party thrown by the local Youth Sodality (46).
Alonzo Alfred Wahrmund was awarded for his WW2 service the Asiatic Pacific Campaign medal with three bronze stars, Phillippine Liberation ribbon with one bronze star, good conduct medal, victory ribbon, one service strip, and four overseas service bars.
When he came back home to Harper, Alonzo continued working on the family farm. Later, for many years, he was a Test Fleet Driver and worked on the assembly line at Mooney Aircraft. Mr. A. F. Wahrmund retired in 1989 (47).
