Sailor reading book - from WWI poster
WRITINGS - Page Two
Greetings cyberspace wayfarer.

As seen in the links: PEACE CHURCH and BLACKHAWK DOWN, there are some excellent pieces located on the net that are very professional and extremely well done. It seems many are affiliated with on-line newspapers. I am sure there are many others out there of equally high quality.

I would appreciate knowing of any other links to well documented   (well researched)  stories about our military - any branch - any era.

Thanks

Sid Harrison
