Gives free e-mail accounts "This project is divided, naturally, into the nation's wars, starting with World War II, through Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the War on Terrorism. We've also included the Cold War, for there are many veterans who never saw a battlefield yet still served honorably. Their stories, too, deserve to be heard and understood. Our current focus is on the Korean War, as that war is too often ignored, and very poorly understood. Our Korean War veterans deserve better, and fifty-plus years removed from the war, we are racing the clock. The same is even more true of the World War II generation, although yeoman's work has already been done on that generation. This is all to explain why you will not find a lot on Vietnam and beyond. We will eventually turn our attention to these, but time and resources are very limited." Serving Veterans, Active Duty, Reservists, Friends and Family of the U.S. Military!
