Look very interesting! Thanks for posting all of this. I'm in the middle of an exercise at the moment, but I will dive in when the opportunity presents itself!!

Hello and welcome. Unfortunately I cannot get to your site and have tried several different configurations including:

 

www.70yearsago.com

70yearsago.com

 

Is anyone else having problems? This may be temporary, but I am a web design and hosting company and it feels like a DNS problem at your domain company.

Yep, had a 6 hour period today when our server was down, Had to happen when I introduced Dad's WWII Diary to the group!

 

Hope you try again

Sure thing. S--t happens! I know the feeling. I bought my own server about two years ago. Was getting tired of the down time I was experiencing from my old host company. Will look again today.

Loving it. Just started perusing the site. I'm signing your guestbook too.

 

Placed your link here and also on the What's New page. Gave it a plug on FB too.

Just started looking and am wondering after I saw this, for it was the 82nd Airborne who were at Sicily, not the 101st. They didn't come into the war until Normandy.

 

Chick talks about the invasion of Sicily in July of 1943 and the tragedy that occurred with the 101st Air Borne. Filmed 2007 at the studios of WILL, University of Illinois as part of the “WWII Central Illinois Stories” series

 

I think you will have to make a disclaimer, saying the 101st were stated in error. It happens. Easy to do, especially when trying to recall events which happened so long ago.

Yes, better you do it, than to have a visitor post a note about it on the page. This way you are on top of it! Really love the page. So cool you got interviews with your dad too.

My Dad served in the 10th engineers from N. Africa to Germany.  I am publishing his diary 70 years to the day he wrote it.

 

I keep track of the men mentioned in my Dad's diary and list them on this page:  http://70yearsago.com/reference/

 

Look forward to hearing from anyone about the 10th.

Hi John,

I recently purchased a small 10th ECB photo album from ebay and am wondering if they might be something that you'd like scans of for your site and or etc?

Just an FYI that I tried to contact you via 70yearsago.com but had no luck getting through.
