ADT Folks in the Service is a project based on a series of newsletters published by The A.D.T. Company during the World War 2 years. Each newsletter contains stories and notes documenting the location and/or exploits of company associates serving in the military.

Note that The A.D.T. Company is a past name of today’s ADT, an industry leader in the security field.

The ADT Folks in the Service project consisted of: 1) Preserving the newsletters by scanning them and storing the scans on this web site; and 2) Preparing a workbook documenting the names, offices and departments of all A.D.T. Company associates who answered the call of their country and served in the United States Military during World War 2.
