Remembering Your World War II Veteran- a Great Example
This post on American flyer William Fiske from the RAF Museum is a great example of a technically proficient web design. It tells the story of one American's experience in the RAF during the Battle of Britain. While you may not have all of the resources a museum might, this still serves as a good example to follow.

Saving a Town's Memories of its Greatest Generation
We all have an interest in saving the WWII memories of family members. Vic Cleary wants to preserve the memories of his entire town. Clarksburg Ohio's Courageous: WWII is his blog that seeks to honor the service of the 222 WWII veterans from Clarksburg and its surrounding rural township, which have rich military histories dating back to the Revolutionary War. With more than 900 veterans dying each day, this is a welcome effort. The citizens of Clarksburg and the rest of us thank you, Vic, for preserving these important historical moments.
