Doomed to Repeat?

Odds are that any chain email you get isn't true.  Many spew ignorance, arrogance and intolerance. Please check them before you pass them on.  Click on Snopes  and do a key-word search to verify information before forwarding. 

"A lie travels around the world while Truth is still putting on her boots."  The truth is out there-and YES it does matter.  

  TIRED OF THE LIES...?                   Break the Chain!

If you have the urge to send me this type of email, please remove me from your email list.

I have started to block the hater's email addresses - they disgust me.

I have intentionally kept the navigation of the pages simple. Each page has only a few images so that people with dial up connections can enjoy the site.  

Hosting Direct-my web host

I changed to them in March 2003 because prior host was terrible-this web host has been excellent from day one. This link is provided because a number of people have asked who my provider is.

Talk to your family about your wartime experiences before it is too late. I wish my Dad had talked about the war years, but it's too late for us.  If you have stories you would like to share, please contact me.   

They can be happy, sad, heroic or about the mundane day to day life. All of this is part of our heritage and I want to preserve it before it is gone

 

If your Association has a website that is not listed in the links, contact me and I will be happy to add it.

If your website has multiple pop up ads, I may not add the link.

Also, if your website has a strong partisan political bias, I will not add a link.
