Veterans Day and Free Databases at WorldVitalRecords

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all the veterans, past and present, who have served our country. I appreciate your courage and sacrifice. You are the reason that America is free.

Today is a great day to also think about your ancestors who served in the military. WorldVitalRecords (http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/) is providing free access to a number of their military databases. This free access is from Nov 11-13, 2009.
