LINKS FOR '58ERS
Many web sites have a "links" page that get you to all sorts of places merely by clicking on a provided URL. Many will list every known military or academy related site, and lead you to a wide variety of information.
This links page is going to start out with a smaller ambition, that of taking you to web sites that have been established by '58ers, or contain information about '58ers. Each will be preceded by a short description of the web site's contents so you don't have to go surfing to see what the page really contains. After you have looked at another site, use your browser "Back" button to get back to this page.
Dick Tillman's Blog on Youth Fitness
You may be
interested in my blog on http://www.worldfit.org
especially if
you have any ideas on promoting physical fitness and a healthy
lifestyle to middle school 7th and 8th graders. Monday's edition of
USA Today is supposed to have something on it.
Cheers,
Dick
Select a state and it will list by city the names of all Vietnam KIA's. You can pull up their profile, etc and print as well. The 1st page that comes up when you select a name is medals awarded.

It's official, DD-214's are NOW Online.
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the
following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's
online:
http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html
This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his
DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it
easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain
copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans
and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a
new online military personnel records system to request
documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must
still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the
online web site. Because the requester will be asked to supply
all information essential for NPRC to process the request,
delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for
additional information will be minimized. The new web-based
application was designed to provide better service on these requests
by eliminating the records centers mailroom and processing time.
Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may
know and their dependents.
