We’re looking for story #49
Secure a place in history for someone you know who did his or her part in the war. Share his or her story here – it could become "the 49th story" to be included in the exhibit.
It can be a story from someone who was on the battlefront or the homefront. Please keep it concise (a couple of short paragraphs will do), and include a photo if you have one. Stories must be submitted by December 31, 2009, to be eligible for display at the museum.
Which one will it be
