World Vital Records has announced free access to their U.S. Military Service Collection May 27, 2010 through June 1, 2010 in honor of Memorial Day. This is a terrific offer and one I plan to take advantage of this weekend. “Honoring Those Who Served” is also the weekly theme posted on the Blogger’s Almanac for the week beginning May 30.
Military databases at World Vital Records include records from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War. To access the collection, go directly to www.worldvitalrecords.com > Search > Military Records, or use this link. Those records with free Memorial Day Weekend access are noted.
I am presently researching my “three Sams,” same name, different wars. It’s a bit tough keeping track of who’s who, and I welcome the opportunity to move forward in unscrambling their past. Thanks, World Vital Records.
