Memorial Weekend and Military Records

 Memorial Day is this weekend and so it is a great time to check military records for our ancestors. I come from a long line of military people. This is a good weekend to search them out. At
ancestry.com from May 23- May 27, 2013 they are giving free access to their military records. This would be an excellent time to look your ancestors records up. Below are some examples of what I found for mine at ancestry.com
I looked some of my family in the military records and here are some examples of what you can find there.
