I don't think that was a 'want' for you to subscribe, it was to 'register' with them so you can use the databases from November 12-25, 2005...they want to know who might be interested enough to use their databases and this is the way in which they do these things. On the initial web page where all the databases are shown there is also a book recommended from Amazon.com. Recommended Book (available from Amazon.com)... How to Locate Anyone Who Is or Has Been in the Military - Armed Forces Locator Guide by Richard S. Johnson & Debra Johnson Knox, with a forward by William C. Westmoreland I just wanted to tell the list that this book I have in my personal library, and it is indispensable. The information it has in it gives you information such as other resources you've never heard of that can help you find documents and information about your military person you didn't know existed and have access to; this book shows you where to look, where to get them, how to get them, and provided even gave addresses that I've passed on to others to assist them with their searchs.
