Ken Burns did it again.

Ok....He did it again......... Sparked the historian in each of us to do some research and find out even more than what was on his documentary and how the events in history effected our lives and our ancestor's lives..........

So this week.... "The War" was on............once they mentioned, Mobile, North Africa, and Italy..... I thought,,,, My grandpa was there............. So....................... I was hooked.......... and now with the ever addictive Internet, and never ending information, it doesn't take long to get hooked into writing another blog..

Things with this one will be different than my others. The purpose of this Blog is to keep the history of my Grandfathers "adventures" in WWII alive. After all it only takes 3 generations for complete family histories to be lost forever. I am setting this blog up where my mother Sandra, my aunt Lynne, Joe, my cousin Todd, and others can become authors to this site. The site will be a place we can compile the information that we learn and tell the stories that we remember. And a place to post photos, so they are not lost forever.

I am counting on Not being the only author on this site. I am really too busy with the house and work projects. From the past few days of emails, there are already about 10 posts out there in email land. So group lets get to it. WWII was one of the largest events in history and Paw was a part of it.

This is good. Your grandmother is so happy that someone has taken an interest in the War years. They were so important in their lives as they were put on hold for 3 years,9 months and 27 days, from the time he left until she saw him again.
