In Remembrance of Fallen Soldiers

To honor service members killed in Afghanistan and Iraq, Legacy.com has launched "In Remembrance",

The site is accessible via Legacy.com, as well as through 193 of the company's newspaper affiliates, including the Chicago Sun-Times, The Florida Times-Union, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Already, more than 11,000 family members and friends have submitted entries to the more than 1,600 Guest Books Legacy.com has created for each fallen service member. 

"The response to the site -- and to the Guest Books in particular -- has been extraordinary," said Legacy.com President and CEO Stopher Bartol. "We are pleased to be able to lend our experience with online memorials to help people pay tribute to the soldiers who have given their lives." .

There is no charge to newspapers or the families of the deceased for the soldiers' site, and there is no advertising.
Hats off to the fallen soldiers for their sacrifices and their Great Legacies and to Legacy.com for this fine service. Posted by Jill Fallon at March 16, 2005 1:31 PM | Permalink
