US military records now online.
Not everything, but if you want to see if great uncle Fred really did enlist in WWI you can find out now at Ancestry.com.
This year’s Memorial Day weekend comes with the introduction of a perfectly timely service: Ancestry.com has posted the U.S. military war records of 90 million troops who served the nation from 1607 through the end of the Vietnam War.Get it while it's free and if Mormon missionaries show up at your door, just put a load of rocksalt in their hides. They aren't really Americans, you know.
The site also includes the names of 3.5 million troops who’ve been killed in action, including 2,000 from the war in Iraq.
And as part of the introduction, there is no cost to search the database from now through the June 6 anniversary of D-Day. After that, unlimited access will cost $155.40 per year.
