Hello from Long Island, N.Y.

Hello everyone.

I have always been intrigued by WWII since I was a child. My dad, who passed away in Nov. 2005, was a Sgt. in the Army/Airforce division and served over seas during the war. He was forever reading WWII books that he got from the library. My only regret is that I never recorded his personal events during the war.

I have created a World War II web directory. I would love to have personal accounts from all the brave men and women who served during the war. Any web pages related to WWII will be accepted. All pages will be submitted free of course. I've added this forum to the directory. I will take any suggestions to make it a great WWII directory.

Thanks to everyone who fought for our freedom in this great county.

Again, hello all!

Fred
