Dear Folks, Even though you're not anxiously awaiting to hear of an update of my veterans project, I just have to share with someone what I accomplished today. I spent 2 hours and 40 minutes today printing out more Personal Veterans Pages. During that time I printed out about 333 pages and just about filled up a new two-inch three ring binder to its limit. But as they printed out I had to give attention to detail regarding their being filed alphabetically and checking each one over for errors. As I checked each one over, I again was overwhelmed by the information they contained. There were those who were there on D Day and participated in the invasion of Normandy, there were many of those who had been awarded the Purple Heart and there were some particular ones who were held Prisoners of War during WWII. The information regarding the Vietnam War veterans is chilling if you check out the history of where they were stationed at the time. What those personal pages said and didn't say is that there are soooooo many more stories that could be told. I can only hope that my project might bring out such important stories in the future. In fact in my wildest dreams I hope that some veteran takes exception to the scant information I've recorded about his military history and fires off a letter to me along the lines of "You don't have even a CLUE what I went through during the war" and then goes on to tell me of his experiences during whatever war he served in. I would love to receive such a letter because it's rare that a veteran will even talk about his experiences no matter what war he served in. With that said, I know that I'll continue to plod along with printing out of the Veterans Personal Pages and be content enough with the overall results. I'll let the chips fall where they may. vee
