Good afternoon.

Grampashy took me to Fort Drum yesterday to see the newest memorial statue and area that were dedicated Friday afternoon. Very moving - located directly across from the base commander’s office so he can look out his window and see it.

Am spending a good part of today on ancestry-dot-com because they are providing complimentary access to U.S. military records dating back to the 1700’s. This access is available to anyone through June 6. So far I have added two Union Civil War soldiers to the family tree. Will tackle 1812 and the Revolutionary Wars through the week. It can be time consuming due to the spelling varieties of family names, but very rewarding if you stick with it.

Raining here today, but should be nice tomorrow. Enjoy your week-end, everyone!
