In God We Trust
We want to tell you about the latest happenings for the Korean War Educator. Over the last several months Lynnita has researched and added dozens of military airplane crash fatalities on our Airplane Crashes pages. We need our readers' help on this, so if you have a computer and some spare time, we encourage you to visit the Airplane Crashes index and click on "Incomplete Listings Challenge." Maybe you can find what we can't. Meanwhile, history department volunteers are working in conjunction with Booth Library at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, to continue the important work of documenting the memoirs of Korean War veterans collected over the years by Lynnita. In addition, the KWE's webmaster is working with AI to migrate the remainder of our existing Korean War memoirs from the old site to the new one. Every single day our efforts to recognize and honor Korean War veterans continue on with determination.
We are heartened to give our readers updated news about the changes to the KWE that are currently occurring behind the scenes of this website. Two financial gifts (one in December and one in March) from Sheila Kronenberger in Southern Illinois enabled us to send $1,000 to the Cloud Carpenter web design company. As a result, one of his employees is now assigned to move the KWE's Memoirs over to the new server. Meanwhile, Lynnita is taking baby steps to learn how to make updates, transfer text and create new pages. While doing that, Lynnita has also been concentrating on adding numerous Silver Star citations to the website. James Blackwell of Virginia sent $100 to help the KWE continue to grow. Merry Helm, a Korean War researcher in Washington State, became a life member and concurrently sent us several Silver Star citations. Tonight we received a $500.00 PayPal contribution from Donald Hall in Maryland. We've got a long way to go and we still need an influx of money for this big transition, but things are getting brighter for the KWE's future. Many thanks to everyone who is making the impossible possible!
