Memorial Day is May 30th!
On that day, I encourage you all to share stories of a soldier you might want to remember. Your stories, or pictures—if you want—will be posted on the blog to share with everyone else in order to honor them. And, it doesn’t have to be strictly WWII. This is for all of those brave men and women who have fought and made the ultimate sacrifice. In addition, you can also send messages to the Twitter...

The Airborne Code
I volunteered as a parachutist, fully realizing the hazards of my chosen service, and by my thoughts and actions I will always uphold the prestige, honor, and rich esprit-de-corps of parachute troops. I realize that a parachutist is not merely a soldier who arrives by parachute to fight, but is an elite shock trooper, and that his country expects him to march farther and faster, to fight harder,...

Your stories, or pictures—if you want—will be posted on the blog to share with everyone else in order to honor them. And, it doesn’t have to be strictly WWII. This...

I promise I’ll update the blog when I have more energy, haha. In the meantime, any requests or ideas for things you’d like posted? Or any links to places where I can find more info/pics/etc.? It’s always interesting (and sometimes a challenge) to scour the internet for pictures I haven’t posted! Drop me a line if you’d like: www.letterstoeasycompany.tumblr.com/ask ...
