Seeking WWII Veterans For Blog


Thank you for visiting the WWII War Time Memories blog. We have had readers from Russia, Switzerland, Great Britain, Belgium, United States, and other countries visit the blog thus far. Trying to find WWII Veterans from foreign countries has been quite tough and I want to ask my readers to please send me the contact info for any WWII Veterans you know who would like to be featured on my blog. You can be of the utmost help in doing so. Feel free to leave this information as a comment here on the blog site or by emailing me at aengleford@gmail.com .
My hope is to have a large base of faithful readers and to collect enough war stories to turn the blog into a book. I hope that you will continue to read the blog on a regular basis and will let your friends know of it as well. The Veterans did the serving, I do the writing, but you can help me make connections with other Veterans.
On another note: My paternal grandfather, who was a WWII Veteran, passed away on 16 January 2012. He was and will continue to be the reason why I chose to pursue this project. I am currently working on compiling his war story and it is very likely that he will be the ONLY WWII Veteran featured on this blog who was not living at the time the feature was written. The only reason I did not begin with his story is because of the limited information I have on his service. However, regardless of how little information I have to go on….you can expect to soon read what we know about his service.
