My Grandfather fought in the CBI Theater and saw much combat in Burma and China and in the taking of Myitkyina AF. Recently my Aunt sent me a copy of his diary he kept during that time and I have published it to a couple of my websites. Here is a link to it if you are interested. I do not have it all up yet but you can read what I have so far. http://www.midlothianshopping.com/index.php/feature-stories/142-granddads-war-the-cbi I have had this diary published to my sites for a little over a month and have already had over 1500 people read the diary. Many are waiting for me to put up the last chapters. I am publishing his diary to several of my websites using a flash based eBook program of mine that will allow my grandfather’s diary to be read but protects the digital copyrights. I have worked a lot with the several Veteran organizations, the DAV being one, and I have a great desire to help tell the stories of the men and women who served in World War II, Korea and of course the Gulf wars. I would like permission to publish your diary to my websites using my flash based program to my web sites www.waxahachiejouranl.com and www.midlothianshopping.com We would not change any of the text and there would be no charge to you for this and you are welcome to link any eBook diary directly to any website you wish. Through my search I have found other online diaries that I would like to include in my WW2 Diary section which include diaries from Japanese soldiers, German, British, Australian, Italian and Russian diaries. Most of this these online diaries do no appear to have been formally publish and have been done in HTML which does not protect the author’s work from being copied or downloaded. Using my eBook program we would be able to protect your copyright and digital rights management as no one would be able to copy or download any of your work unless you authorized it. We would also help in getting these diaries submitted to the Library of Congress, as these historical diaries are very important documents of eyewitness observations on our history. Sincerely, Charles Flowers Hello,

I was searching for other WW2 diaries and came across yours online. My Grandfather fought in the CBI Theater and saw much

combat in Burma and China and in the taking of Myitkyina AF. Recently my Aunt sent me a copy of his diary he kept during that

time and I have published it to a couple of my websites. Here is a link to it if you are interested. I do not have it all up

yet but you can read what I have so far.

I have had this diary published to my sites for a little over a month and have already had over 1500 people read the diary.

Many are waiting for me to put up the last chapters.

I am publishing his diary to several of my websites using a flash based eBook program of mine that will allow my grandfather’s

diary to be read but protects the digital copyrights. I have worked a lot with the several Veteran organizations, the DAV being

one, and I have a great desire to help tell the stories of the men and women who served in World War II, Korea and of course

the Gulf wars.

I would like permission to publish your diary to my websites using my flash based program to my web sites

http://www.waxahachiejouranl.com and http://www.midlothianshopping.com

We would not change any of the text and there would be no charge to you for this and you are welcome to link any eBook diary

directly to any website you wish.

Through my search I have found other online diaries that I would like to include in my WW2 Diary section which include diaries

from Japanese soldiers, German, British, Australian, Italian and Russian diaries.

Most of this these online diaries do no appear to have been formally publish and have been done in HTML which does not protect

the author’s work from being copied or downloaded. Using my eBook program we would be able to protect your copyright and

digital rights management as no one would be able to copy or download any of your work unless you authorized it.

We would also help in getting these diaries submitted to the Library of Congress, as these historical diaries are very

important documents of eyewitness observations on our history.

Charles Flowers

Did he write much in his diary when he was on leave? There was a German POW camp in Westover, and prisoners were often working on area farms - did he mention it, or have an opinion about it? I certainly appreciate all parties who are helping to get these words out to today's generation.

He, his brother Charles,and their mother Doris tried to make a go of it. Dad left the farm to go into the business world where he faired quite well.

Why were we not interested in taking the material with us? We had little time in the years after he died to go through the material. We asked many questions about war when we were kids. He answered what he could. Both my brother and I think what you are doing is great. Please feel free to contact us if you need more information. Keep up the great work. P.S Nancy Reichard (Wife) was the artist. Dad gave up art and went into the business world. Thank you once again for what you are doing. I am his son.

Reichard WWII Diaries. I am very impressed with this project and appreciate the professionalism you have displayed. I'm glad Dad's WWII belongings found a great home vs sitting in boxes in our homes for another generation or two and gathering dust. I can't imagine a better resting place than what you have produced. It is even cooler that his story is being told and available for folks to read about. Lawson Funk Reichard was my Dad. He rose to the rank of Lt. Cornel after the war before retiring. He passed March 28, 1980. My Mom continued to live in their home in Fulton and Dekab County in Dunwoody,GA until her death June 17, 2007. She was the artist. At that time I had to put most of their belonging in an estate sale. My Brother and I kept what meant most to us and we sold the rest since we could not begin to ship (to Bailey-Anchorage, AK or me-Salt Lake City, UT) and store much of their belongings. They are true heroes of "The Greatest Generation". Thank you very much for this wonderful effort. It truly has touched my Brother and I.

Please share this project with your friends and those you think might be interested. If for some reason, you don't want to share a letter publicly, I'd be interested in reading whatever you felt like sending and I'm sure Will, our CEO would be too as would the rest of the team working on this project.

I have my father's handwritten diaries beginning July 5, 1944 as they loaded up to cross the English Channel for France and ending on 9/26, 1945 when leaving Europe to return home. They are wonderful reading and I have transcribed them myself (father's handwriting was attractive to look at but difficult to read). I've often wondered how I can preserve these for others so I think your project is wonderful! I just discovered this site—-wish I had seen it when it first went up.

I finally learned to love history when I became involved with family genealogy and began to associate all those "dry" dates and facts with their lives. I hope you will continue the daily entries.
