Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the link to the blogs.va.gov
"The re-launch of the Veterans Legacy Memorial before Memorial Day weekend saw more than 4,000 tributes, images, biographies, milestones, and documents posted to Veterans’ pages, joining the nearly 15,000 tributes that were posted since Memorial Day 2020. This National Cemetery Administration (NCA) web site is now the interactive digital cemetery experience envisioned when the project began several years ago.
But what we’ve realized by seeing some of the content submitted by family members, battle buddies, friends, scouts and the public is that, beyond the collection of nearly 4 million Veteran pages, each page and every user’s experience is personal. In many cases, deeply personal. The sharing of stories – grief, memories, war tales, accomplishments, regrets, triumphs, lineage, patriotism and more – connects us to those American heroes we love and miss."
