Today is Veteran's Day in America where we remember and honor all those who have served or who are serving in the military. And it's a perfect time to check out Fold3.com {formerly Footnote.com.} where you may add a veteran from your family tree to their Honor Wall or search the Honor Wall for free. Or if you don't already have a subscription, take this opportunity to look up your military ancestors in their military record databases by signing up for a free trial of their service. Don't forget to take a look at their YouTube channel which has free video tutorials on how to use their service. To whet your appetite, take a look at the following video of a World War II veteran talking about his service as well as the service of his brothers from the Fold3.com YouTube Channel. {Or watch it on YouTube here.}

Other days, other things...
