Worldwide Genealogy: Memorial Day Foundation

As we in the U.S. get ready to celebrate the second of our two annual holidays to commemorate veterans, who served in the armed services, I wanted to review a website volunteers may use to upload photographs and information about war memorials into a war memorial registry.

The Memorial Day Foundation is a tax-exempt not for profit organization created to increase awareness and respect for the holiday. The foundation provides flower bouquets when can be laid at war memorials across the country. It also maintains a website which is a crowd-sourced repository of photographs and information about almost any type of war memorial.

I hope you'll click on over to my review at Worldwide Genealogy -- A Genealogical Collaboration to read my thoughts on this website.

11 November 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I
went into effect
