Hello All!

Hi, just found this board and have really enjoyed everything I've read so far. Just a bit about myself. I'm 35 and have been infatuated with World War II history since I was quite young. My dad was born in 1930 so he passed down a lot of interest to me as I had three uncles in WWII, all of whom survived the war.

Thank you all for adding to this board and I hope to learn alot and make some contributions in the future.

Matt

Charles,

I'm from western Illinois, been around here most of my life. Except for a year and a half stint in Regina Saskatchewan (eh!) right after I graduated college.

So far I've really enjoyed this board, I have not killed a thread yet, which seems to happen all the time on the boards of my other interests!

Matt
