His volunteer work to honor our veterans should inspire us all to preserve our history. Ricky is right-- we are people, not numbers. So, come on and step up to the graves in Arlington if you visit or live in the area. Or if you a family member of one of the fallen, be sure to honor their memory by telling their story on the Preserve and Honor Blog.
Ahh, genealogy. What great heroes there are among us.

National Archives Launches NARAtions Blog
Note: NARA wants to hear from us who have an interest in genealogy.
/PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, August 12, the National Archives launched the NARAtions blog to begin a discussion with researchers on the future of online public access at the National Archives. The public is invited and encouraged to share opinions on ways to enhance the online researcher experience and to increase access to archival materials.
This online community will continue to be a work in progress as we develop new features and content. Questions will be posted to invite discussion, and the blog welcomes feedback and suggestions for new questions to raise. The blog will also inform researchers about newly available online records descriptions and digitized archival materials.
We would like to hear from you! What sort of things would you find valuable from NARAtions?
-- Should we allow the public to tag descriptions in our online catalog?
Why or why not?
-- What groups of photographs should we post on Flickr next, and why?
-- Do you have a favorite NARA photograph or document? Is it already
available in our catalog or on our website?
