Just an FYI, I got a call from my sister-in-law today and they're looking into college scholarships. There are some scholarships out there for descendants whose ancestors were in various US wars. The ones she named were Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI and WWII. I don't know if there are others. Since we going to be facing this in a couple of years (say it isn't so), I now have a new focus, and I haven't done much on military records.
