Hello everyone, Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May in the United States to honor the men and women who lost their lives during wartime, and to pay tribute to all those who served in the armed forces. On this Memorial Day weekend, as we remember our military service men and women, I would like to share with you a collection of military sites and searchable databases. I encourage you to post your findings on these sites to the list, and to also include any family you have in your own files who served in their countries' armed forces--whatever the country, and whatever the war. Take care, LaRae OKMULGEE COUNTY, OK listmgr. - ------------------------------------------------------------- "LEST WE FORGET" They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We will remember them. --from First World War days - ------------------------------------------------------------- World War I Civilian Draft Registration Database http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ww1/draft/search.cgi WWI Draft Registrations Query Board: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/WWI/Draft American WWI Mothers' Pilgrimage, 1930 http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4224.htm US military (colonial or modern) http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson14.htm Military matters anywhere else in the world, ancient or modern http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson13.htm Memorial Day: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/memorial.htm Military links: http://www.rootsweb.com/WWII/militarylinks.html WWII Stories: http://www.rootsweb.com/WWII/ Memorial Day Casualty Files http://www.mountaindragon.com/memorial/memorials.html The American Revolution http://www.pbs.org/ktca/liberty/ The Civil War http://www.civilwar.com/ The Spanish American War http://www.spanam.simplenet.com/ "The Great War" http://www.pbs.org/greatwar/ Rutgers Oral History Archives of World War II http://history.rutgers.edu/oralhistory/orlhom.htm State-Level Casualty Lists for the Korean Conflict http://www.nara.gov/nara/electronic/kcasal.html Korean War Anniversary http://www.tcsaz.com/koreanwar.html State-Level Casualty Lists for the Vietnam Conflict http://www.nara.gov/nara/electronic/vcasal.html The Vietnam War Internet Project http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/shwv/shwvhome.html Operation Desert-Storm -- The Gulf War http://www.desert-storm.com/ Ancestry.com articles on Memorial Day topics... http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/george/939.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/ancmag/206.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/george/872.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/news/articles/477.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/ancmag/1364.asp http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/ancmag/198.asp - -------------------------------------------------------------
