December 7: Today in History
Thisshort Library of Congress page is peppered with links to original documentssuch as the telegram from a ranking United States naval officer in PearlHarbor that "provided the first official word of the attack at theill-prepared Pearl Harbor base. It said simply: AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR XTHIS IS NOT DRILL." One of the gems to be found on the USSArizona page is a recording of the ship’s bell. Where else but on theNet?

Dad’s War
"Subtitled "Finding and Telling Your Father’s World War II Story," Wesley Johnston’s useful instructions can be applied equally to learning about your grandparents’ wartime stories or your parents’ Vietnam experiences. The first step is to identify their unit as specifically as possible, and then search out the outfit’s alumni association. The Internet makes much of this research considerably easier. Johnson’s site also includes links to dozens of World War II stories told first hand, and by sons and daughters."

Dad’s China-Burma-India Page
""This page is dedicated to my Dad, Charles E. Hacking, and all those who worked and fought in the forgotten campaign, the CBI Theater. Dad was in the 18th Air Service Squadron of the 18th Air Force. These were the guys who worked on the ground making sure that our fighters and bombers had a place to land, a place to get fuel and ammunition and food and lodging for the pilots." My favorite clicks are the photos, letters, and other souvenirs found under Scrap Book.."

Dad Rarey’s Sketchbook Journals
""In 1942 my father, George Rarey, a young cartoonist and commercial artist, was drafted into the Army Air Corps. He flew a P-47 before he drove a car. During his service he kept a cartoon journal of the daily life of the fighter pilots. A few weeks after D-Day he was killed in combat over France. His journals are a part of his legacy to me -- one that I want to share with others through this Web page.""
