kristoffer Posted March 22, 2008 #1 Posted March 22, 2008 Hi, During the last months I have become interested in contacting veterans from the second world war to learn more about it and about the people who fought in it. I have contacted a couple veterans but I have a hard time finding adresses so if you have an adress please contact me. I´m not asking them for anything, I just want to learn more. Best regards kristoffer.
brandon_rss18 Posted April 7, 2008 #2 Posted April 7, 2008 lol im sure you mean well but i dont think many people are going to just give out addresses on here, but good luck it is a good thing your wanting to do. Have you ever thought of asking some of the guys up at the VFW halls if they wouldnt mind talking to you? Worked for me and met some pretty interesting people.
GIl Sanow Posted April 7, 2008 #3 Posted April 7, 2008 Your location might make it easier or tougher. If you are here in the states, why not check your local paper next month for Memorial Day events and attend? You may still find vets marching, or likely gathering at American Legion and VFW posts afterward. Also AMVETS, Marine Corps League, Purple Heart Society! Join them if these event are open to the public. G
rrobertscv Posted April 8, 2008 #4 Posted April 8, 2008 With few execptions, every WWII vet I have know or met has been a church member. That would be a good place to make contacts. Also, I have met many who are volunteers at the hospital.
kristoffer Posted April 8, 2008 Author #5 Posted April 8, 2008 The thing is that I live in Sweden so its pretty hard for me to find adresses.
