Yes, the Internet is a great tool for research and making connections, but I love going to the archives and holding the documents myself, though I know it is not feasible for everyone. It is cool to think the things I'm holding were typed in the field, there is a connection you feel; or at least I do.
Jean, your comment is still up under the "In Memory of ?" Post. And thank you for signing up to receive updates. It has been a great experience researching untold stories. I'm thinking of writing a book on the 24th, but not entirely sure yet. I'm currently trying to get in contact with vets of the battalion. I have reached out to the sons and daughters of a few members, but none have contacted me back.
