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,
Eireann

"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.
