He also left a phone number and e-mail address, but I don't want to post it here in the comments, but I can provide it if you are interested in getting in touch with this person. This is for Bill Duncan. If it can''t be given to him, please let me know.Bill I read your WW II column on vet histories.Why don''t we take it a step further and volunteer to publish vet memories on the WWW. Not to compete with any other program, but to offer these folks a way to see there story out in the public eye.I''m 70.I maintain my website, a Chamber of Commerce website, a disabled home website and a water quality website. It isn''t hard. I don''t charge.But besides me there are hundreds of folks who could prepare vets books for the internet - novels and normal writings are easy.Further, there is a little known feature on the WWW - www.archive.org - supported by HP, Library of Congress and others, that would insure a certain degree of permanence to material archived there.While I''m not a vet (only 6 mo. active duty via RFA 1955) I''m a supporter.I already checked, there are a number of domain names (like: us -vet-wwii-history.org) which are available.Just a thought. Your column started the entire process. Thanks for writing it.Dave PalmerOakville, WA 98568 Bill, we received the following comment about your column through the Capital Press website.
