Today, I added three more pages as well as made it through a few newspaper articles from 1945. These have been finally added after 1.5 years of sitting in their folders, tucked away and waiting to be unearthed.
Glad to have them.. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Vogel :)

Over 1 year since the last post
Well it has been over one year since my last post and I have began a new phase of my life in work as well as research. In the last year I have focused on learning as much as humanly possible on NARA's records and how they are processed.
In May I left the archives to seek a new job position. As of July my position was being extinguished. This I was not happy with but as always I choose to always seek the positives. After returning to my "oldy but goody profession... accounting" I have realized that my passion had been put on hold for way too long. I dusted off my research files, out of the ever so full closet and began reading some of the testimonies of these men in which I so admire. The research for this topic has taken me all over the United States and has brought me face to face with my heroes. As a researcher and writer I am ever more determined to tell their stories of bravery and sacrifice. There is still so much to research, write and discover. I am looking forward to the coming months as I delve back into this subject ever so passionately. Thank you Uncle Tony for the encouragement today. This blog entry is for you.
