    I was at the cemetery yesterday to visit my family. (my son’t birthday was valentine’s Day) and as I read the other markers, I thought of this website remembering the men who died for us.
    You do a wonderful thing here.

      Thank you sir….I appreciate your support. I am trying to be more diligent but falling behind with my admin (i.e. adding photos where I have them). Remembering these brave guys is very important.
      Happy birthday to the young man…

        Sir… I am in Canberra tomorrow, at the Australian War Memorial (AWM.gov.au)… DO you want any photos taking? Pacific war will feature… let me know and I’ll see what I can do. AWM is my only reason to visit there (it is our Washington DC!!!!) so I am happy to help. All the best…

        Perhaps you could make a post on your blog and I could reblog it. That way you just might receive more visitors to your worthy website.
