Interesting Web Sites      List of Previous Months' Interesting Web Sites


 This month is the 55th anniversary of the end of World War II. Here are just three of the many web sites dedicated to that war and the men and women who fought in it.

WWII Letters to and from Home
http://www.private-art.com
 This attractive web site is based on the letters to and from Private Arthur Pranger, 86th Chemical Mortar Battalion, during World War II. The letters chronicle a two and one half year stint in the United States Army, experiences in England, Normandy, and most of the European Theater. It spotlights this soldier's role in the biggest conflict in history before or since.

WWII U.S. Veterans Website
http://ww2.vet.org
The World War II Veterans Website is a creation of Dick Berry, a WWII Navy Veteran who served in the Pacific Theater, and his son, Dave Berry, a 39 year old computer programmer from Sarasota, Florida. There are sections about collectibles, a search engine to find old friends, and a Memory Lane.

New WWII Memorial
http://wwiimemorial.com
 The National World War II Memorial will be the first national memorial dedicated to all who served during World War II. It will be built in Washington, D.C. between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. Find out more about it at this web site.

Coal Region Nostalgia
http://www.coalregion.com
            If you're originally from the "coal region" of Pennsylvania - or have family and friends who are - you'll enjoy this nostalgic and sometimes lighthearted look at live in the Anthracite Coal Region (Luzerne, Lackawanna, and surrounding counties). There are recipes (potato pancakes, city chicken, halupkies, potato candy), an amusing coalspeak dictionary, and several "top 10 lists" (which non-coal crackers probably won't understand), photos, links, guestbook, famous coal crackers, and lots more.

Drive In Theaters
http://www.driveintheater.com
 Let down the top on the old Chevy and take a cyber trip to the drive-in. This web site is dedicated to all the people who enjoy attending Drive-In  Theaters across America and to the Drive-In owners who still operate every year, bringing enjoyment to thousands.
 

OFA Virtual Library
http://do.oacsd.k12.ny.us/v_library/v_library.html
 Visit the Owego Free Academy Virtual Library for a useful collection of links: Libraries, Resources, OFA Library Research Databases, Search Engines, Newspapers, Magazines, Homework Sites, and a variety of subject areas.
