It's been a while since I posted anything on this Blog! Just too much going on!

I have completed the processing of about 1/2 the images from the latest research trip to St. Louis. Am hoping to finish the remaining ones over the long July 4th weekend!

I've also created a display board to outline the project. It was displayed at the Memorial Day Ceremony at Duncan Park.

Research Update - 21 April 2009

We have returned from the 2nd research trip to St. Louis' National Military Personnel Records Center. I have over 2,000 new images to sort through and analyze. Found more amazing facts about our young servicemen!
