"This page honors those men who received the Medal of Honor who are associated with the State of Maine. Associated is used because it not only lists those who were born in Maine, but in the case of some Civil War recipients that were born in another state, but served with Maine Volunteer regiments. There are many cases in which Maine-born recipients performed their heroic deeds with units from other states. The citations will have links to hometowns, burial places, and other related information - if it exists on the Web and we have located it." As quoted from this website.
