    Hi everyone,

    I just wanted to say I am happy to be a part of this website/organization and I hope I can learn new stuff about WWII and WWI. I am mostly into WWII, the European Theatre, 101st Airborn Division. I have read several WWII/WWI books and watch plenty of movies about them. I have many family members in the service now (one with a purple heart) and my grandfather served in the Airforce/Navy during Vietnam (he didn't fight just worked one the ships). My great grandfather was a part of the Italian military during WWII, he was a ski soldier that skied down the alps in Italy. My uncle was in the national guard he was one shot away frome being a marksmen.
