Submitting your story to HBO
#1

WWII Vets, take a look at this. Jim Hennessey sent me the link tonight.

 

HBO - Submit your story for possible inclusion? :pdt12:

 

I submitted my dad's story this morning and included several stories. I will let you know if they accept the inclusion. How wonderful this is. This will allow his story to be shared with an even greater number of people.

You might want to check first, but I think HBO has pretty much shut this down . I hope I am wrong but the BOB site there is being phased out.

It's still going strong Jiggers. They took all my info this morning. There is no indication that this is being phased out. ;)

I posted my info with 2 photos about 4 or 5 days ago. No email reply; no listing.

I submitted info on my uncle who was taken POW at Salerno.

Well looks like Jiggers may be right. They accepted all our stuff, but no response. You would think that if they weren't running the program anymore that they would take a second of their time and say so, or take down the form.

Well indeedee-doo, Jiggers was right, for I tried to contact one of the vets for a new friend of mine who is researching her husband's history and it came up with an error. So not only is their site not accepting new entries, you can't even contact the vets who have their stories posted there. What a real shame. Someone should at least have the decency to put up a disclaimer on their site. I wonder how many vets and their families have taken the time to write and submit histories, to only find out that nothing did and will never appear.
