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

Read the stories submitted by our visitors below. One of them will be selected at random in January 2010 and given a place of honor in the exhibit.
