You are right Frank, It is an attractive site, but none the less it is a duplication of many other's hard work efforts to honor the men. They have posted pictures taken by some family members and friends that give the impression that they have the blessing of all members of Easy. None could be farther from the truth. There are pictures of Bill and Babe on their tour with WW2 Tours from 2004. It gives the impression that the new site ran the trip. Again misinformation. Most people won't check the sources, they will just look and assume. Not a very trustworthy group behind this.
I have met one of the webmasters before. He was a friendly guy, perhaps too friendly? Is there anything that someone can do from stopping them? Sometimes I have used pictures from the internet for our own site. I know that this is wrong and we stopped. Those were pictures which were made during the war. It was never my intention to give people the idea that I have those pictures. But the pictures of our battlefield trips are all selfmade, as you can see that we are standing nearby or behind the veterans.
