Military Monday

    In honor of the United States of America's 250th birthday coming up, I wanted to take this opportunity to salute the brave souls who fought for our democratic way of life in The Revolutionary War, 1775-1783. 

    For this special occasion, Fold3 is providing their Revolutionary War records for FREE through July 6th!  I immediately cleared my schedule (which was already free) and starting searching.  I have to go back and get all the information, but I did a quick perusal today in order to write this post.
