The link -- at least as I saw it on AOL -- doesn't work. It's got an extra
character, as well as being enclosed in quotes.

The site looks really nice, except for the lack of an e-mail contact. That's
especially important because, if you try to register a deceased veteran,
there doesn't seem to be any way to do it!
